Arijan Ademi Failed Doping Test After Champions League Match vs. Arsenal

Dinamo Zagreb midfielder Arijan Ademi failed a drug test after the club's 2-1 victory over Arsenal in Champions League last month, the Croatian side announced on Wednesday, per the Telegraph. 

According to the club's statement, UEFA is taking disciplinary actions against Ademi, who in six previous doping tests this past year never tested positive until this most recent one. UEFA isn't expected to change the result of the match against Arsenal, per the Telegraph's report.

Ademi, 24, has appeared in both of Dinamo's group-stage games during Champions League play, earning a decent 6.40 average match rating from WhoScored.com for his efforts. He appeared in five Champions League games for the club a season ago, registering a goal and an assist.     

If Ademi is ultimately suspended, it would be a big loss for Dinamo Zagreb, as the club has two winnable upcoming matches against Olympiakos before contests against Arsenal and Bayern Munich. The Croatian side is currently third in the group with three points behind Bayern (six points) and Olympiakos (three).
