Liverpool’s preparations for their crucial Champions League match against Eintracht Frankfurt were disrupted due to a flight delay caused by technical issues with the aircraft. The team was scheduled to depart from John Lennon Airport late Tuesday afternoon but was delayed by over three hours, forcing the cancellation of their pre-match press conference. This meant that head coach Arne Slot and midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai were unable to address the media as planned.
The delay added to the challenges faced by Liverpool, who were already struggling with a run of four consecutive defeats across all competitions. Ryan Gravenberch, who sustained an ankle injury during the 2-1 defeat to Manchester United, was not part of the 21-man squad that traveled to Frankfurt. The match is set to take place on October 23, 2025, at 12:30 AM IST at the Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt.
