Arsenal will take on LASK Linz in a club friendly on Thursday in preparation for the Europa League final against Chelsea on May 29, Goal reports.
The Gunners were last in action one week ago, when they ended their Premier League season with a 3-1 win over Burnley.
Manager Unai Emery, worried about the 17-day gap between the Burnley and the Chelsea fixtures, has now decided to arrange for a game against the Austrian team.
The friendly will take place at Arsenal’s London Colney training ground and will be staged behind closed doors.
LASK finished second behind Red Bull Salzburg in the Austrian Bundesliga last season.
All of Emery’s top stars are set to feature despite the risk of injury ahead of the final.
