BT Sport and Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker has claimed Arsenal could face a 'bit of a wait' before the club return to the Champions League.
The Gunners are currently sixth in the Premier League - five points off Chelsea in fourth - in what is Unai Emery's first season at the club following Arsene Wenger's departure. The north London side are on course to finish outside the top four for a third successive season, meaning they'll fail to qualify for the Champions League once again.
Lineker thinks it could be a while before Arsenal return to Europe's elite club competition, comparing the situation to when Sir Alex Ferguson left Manchester United in 2013, when they reached the top four twice in the five seasons that followed.
