Arsenal midfield star Granit Xhaka is set to miss their final Europa League group stage clash against FC Zurich after picking up a suspension for reaching the maximum number of yellow cards. The Swiss midfielder earned another card against PSV Eindhoven on Thursday for trying to hurry Xavi Simons off for his substitution with the Gunners trailing and time winding down.
It came after a frustrating clash for the Gunners, who were far from their best in the Netherlands in search of guaranteeing top spot in the group. A difficult first half saw some warning signs for the visitors with a couple of disallowed goals for offside against Simons and Cody Gakpo.
They were made to pay in the second half though as Joey Veerman capped off a swift move from PSV against a sleeping Arsenal backline. The lead was shortly doubled after Aaron Ramsdale flapped at a corner and missed a punch, allowing Luuk de Jong to head home.
