Arsenal head coach Unai Emery says he would respect UEFA's late decision to move his team's Europa League clash against Vorskla to Kiev.
Due to security concerns, UEFA had to move the Group E encounter to the Olimpiyskiy Stadium on Tuesday.
Emery, whose team are already assured a place in the knockout round, said he understood why the governing body had made the change.
"First of all, we need to respect UEFA's decision because it's not easy for Vorskla. It's not an easy decision for UEFA to make either," he told a news conference on Wednesday.
"For us, yesterday we were preparing for our trip to Poltava and then awaiting the final decision in the evening.
"We made small changes in our training session in London and now we have just arrived. This decision, for us, is with all the respect."
