Burnley vs Arsenal: Unai Emery reveals why he cancelled training

Arsenal manager, Unai Emery, cancelled training after they returned from their Europa League semi-final success in Valencia.

The Gunners secured a 4-2 win at the Mestalla to set up a clash with rivals, Chelsea, in the final in Baku on May 29.

Having been held at home by Brighton last weekend, Emery’s side travel to Burnley for their final game of the Premier League season knowing a top-four finish is realistically out of reach.

They need to win at Turf Moor, and hope rivals, Tottenham, lose at home to Everton with an eight-goal swing, to end Emery’s first season in fourth.

“We arrived home at 06:00 (on Friday) and we cancelled training because it’s important to rest.

“On Saturday, we are going to prepare for Sunday’s match but I am going to decide with the players who are hungry and in good physical condition to play this match,” he told the club’s official website.
