"We are just trying to focus on the game" Chambers on political tension between UK and Russia

Russia last week expelled another 50 British diplomats as the fallout over the poisoning of ex-spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter continue while extra stewards and police have been drafted in for CSKA’s visit to stave off potential trouble. Calum Chambers has warned his  team-mates not to be “wound up” by the prospect of playing CSKA Moscow amid a backdrop of political tension between the United Kingdom and Russia. But Calum Chambers told: “We are just trying to focus on the game. You can get too wound up with things going on around it. At the end of the day it is a football match and we want to go and win and get a good result so I think everyone is fully focused on them, how we are going to play against them. That is the best way to do it and not focus on other things around it". On Thursday for the first leg of Europe League quarter-final Arsenal host CSKA at Emirates Stadium. Return game is in a week later in Moscow.
