The plane exacerbates the suffering of struggling Liverpool sports

Faltering Liverpool’s suffering was exacerbated by travel disruptions before its Champions League match – today, Wednesday – against Eintracht Frankfurt, as the team’s flight to Germany was delayed.

Liverpool’s departure – yesterday, Tuesday – after its training session was delayed for about 4 hours due to what the club described as “technical problems on the plane.”

The delay led to the cancellation of the press conference that was scheduled before the match, in which Liverpool coach Arne Sloat and midfielder Dominik Soboslaj were supposed to participate.

Slot and his players face a major challenge to return on Wednesday, as their 2-1 loss to Manchester United – last Sunday – was the fourth in a row in all competitions.

If they lose to Eintracht, this will be the first time that Liverpool has lost 5 consecutive matches since September 1953.

However, Slott maintained his confidence that the delay would not affect the team’s performance today.

“No, this will not affect our preparations for tomorrow’s match,” Slot told Liverpool’s website. “We trained here… We were supposed to go to Frankfurt a few hours before this, but we were delayed by a few hours.”
hours. But, no, this should not be an excuse for tomorrow’s match.”

Liverpool, the English Premier League champion, scored only 3 points from its first two matches in the Champions League.

Today’s match will witness the return of Liverpool striker Hugo Ekitiki to the stadium of his former club, as he left Eintracht to join Liverpool at the end of last season.

Slott said that the match will be a special occasion for the French striker.

He added, “His performance is so excellent that I think he is not the only one who wants to return there. I think the fans there also want to see what he gave to the club, because he was part of the team that led them to the Champions League. It is something special for him.”

Dutchman Ryan Grafenberg did not travel with Liverpool to Germany due to the ankle injury he suffered last Sunday.
