CSKA Moscow fans have steered clear of travelling to London for Thursday night's Europa League quarterfinal against Arsenal.

The Russian club have been given just 500 tickets for the clash. The Sun claim an even less number than that have purchased tickets.

Arsenal have been allocated 1000 tickets for the reverse fixture in Moscow, but fans aren't expected to travel.

The reason for the lack of ticket sales derives from political tension between the U.K. and Russia.
