BAKU (Reuters) - An Arsenal fan was stopped by Azerbaijani police searching for supporters bearing the name of Henrikh Mkhitaryan on their shirts or flags ahead of the Europa League final against Chelsea in Baku on Wednesday.
Arsenal's Armenian midfielder Mkhitaryan did not travel to Azerbaijan over fears for his safety due to the ongoing conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
