What happened. Arsenal cannot stop Ethan Nwaneri from playing against them in the Champions League if he joins Borussia Dortmund on loan, as UEFA rules block any such agreement.

• Nwaneri is expected to join Dortmund on a season-long loan.
• Premier League rules would normally prevent loanees facing parent clubs, but UEFA rules differ.
• Philippe Coutinho scored against parent club Barcelona while on loan at Bayern Munich in 2020.

If the loan happens, Nwaneri could face Arsenal in European competition, adding intrigue to potential matchups.
