Arsenal and Benfica working on neutral two-leg Europa League tie

Arsenal and Benfica may play both of their Europa League round of 32 ties on neutral grounds.

The COVID-19 pandemic means the Gunners cannot go to Lisbon and return without having to quarantine for ten days when they get back.

Mais Futebol confirms that not only is the home tie for Benfica going to be played at a neutral venue, but the game at the Emirates may be rescheduled as well.

The two clubs may have come to the agreement in the interest of fairness, as one team would have an advantage by getting to play their home game at home.

Spain, France and Italy are possible locations for the games, while Greece is also an option, per the source.
