Arsenal facing nightmare SIX Europa League qualifiers

Arsenal are facing preseason chaos because of their poor end of season.

The Mirror says Gunners boss Arsene Wenger could end up playing a Europa League second round qualifier on July 26 - just 11 days after the World Cup final.

And it also clashes with a pre-season tour of Singapore which Arsenal are set to announce with friendlies against Atletico Madrid and Paris Saint Germain on July 26 and 28 respectively.

They have friendlies with Manchester City and Valencia in Europe pencilled in but have yet to confirm them because of the potential Europa League qualifier.

Arsenal could be left facing the nightmare summer schedule - with a potential SIX extra qualifying games - if they finish seventh and do not win the Europa League and it is now a very real possibility Burnley, just two points behind, could overtake them.
