Arsenal could be fined by UEFA after their pre-match press conference previewing their opening Champions League clash against Napoli was cancelled.
The Gunners face Napoli in their first match of the 2026-27 Champions League campaign, but the build-up has been disrupted by travel chaos.
UEFA rules on fixture changes
UEFA's rules state that clubs may only change their MD-1 plans on account of force majeure and with the agreement of UEFA.
The cancellation leaves Arsenal potentially liable to a fine, though the governing body's regulations allow for changes when circumstances are beyond a club's control.
Match build-up disrupted
Arsenal begin their Champions League campaign tomorrow, with the match against Napoli set to be their first in the competition this season.
Further updates are expected as the situation develops.
