"Liverpool's preparations for their Champions League match at Eintracht Frankfurt have been seriously disrupted after the team's flight was delayed due to technical problems with the plane. Arne Slot and his squad were scheduled to depart Liverpool John Lennon airport at about 4pm on Tuesday after a training session at the club's base. However, the flight was delayed for more than three hours, leaving Liverpool's players waiting in the executive lounge throughout that time."
"A club statement confirmed: Our pre-match press conference for the clash with Eintracht Frankfurt has been cancelled. A delay in the squad's scheduled flight out to Frankfurt, due to technical issues with the aircraft, means the briefing will now not be able to take place. Technically Liverpool are in breach of Uefa regulations by not hosting a press conference but the club is unlikely to be fined because the delay was beyond their control."
Liverpool's flight to Frankfurt was delayed by more than three hours due to technical problems with the aircraft. Arne Slot and his squad were scheduled to depart Liverpool John Lennon airport at about 4pm after a training session but remained in the executive lounge during the delay. The club cancelled the customary pre-match press conference as a result. Liverpool needed to take off in time to land before Frankfurt airport closed at 11pm German time (10pm BST). UEFA regulations require teams to arrive on-site by the evening before the match and to fulfil media obligations, putting Liverpool technically in breach, though a fine is unlikely given the circumstances.
