Dozens of Arsenal fans are set to miss their side’s Premier League clash with Burnley after a train taking them north hit a COW.
The Gunners are taking on the Clarets at Turf Moor this afternoon at 4.30. Plenty of time for the travelling fans to make their way from the capital.
But due to a train running into some cattle on the line, a number of fans will have to miss out.
The incident forced the train to return to London, with several fans tweeting the news:
Train hits a cow so many #Arsenal fans are affected and will probably miss today's game. Gutted for each and everyone one of them. #AFC

For one, it will be the first game he has missed in 15 years:
Our train's turning back to London. First game I'm missing in nearly 15 years and it's cos a train hit a cow 😂😂😂😂

While another passenger brought us these updates, and it transpires it was actually multiple cows:

Meanwhile Arsene Wenger has been talking up his new defender Shkodran Mustafi.
“Koscielny is the leader because he is captain, but Mustafi looks like he is taking leadership as well at the back,” he told The Sun.
“What is surprising is how quickly he has integrated into the team at the back and how quickly they have formed a pair that works well together.
“Mustafi is a player who is highly focused. On that front he is a typical German — he wants to do the job well every day and he speaks his mind. He is vocal in the dressing room. He is not a quiet guy who hides. He gives his opinion and communicates a lot.
“When you isolate the pictures of the game and look at that he speaks a lot during the game.”
Can Mustafi’s influence push Arsenal on towards the Premier League title they crave so much? Time will tell…
