Arne Slot was due to speak to the media on the eve of Liverpool’s Champions League meeting with Eintracht Frankfurt, but his press conference has been cancelled. Liverpool’s head coach was scheduled to face questions from members of the English and German press at 6.30pm (BST) on Tuesday night to preview the Reds’ third European match of the season.

In an update on the club’s website, Liverpool explained that a delay to the team’s flight to Frankfurt, due to technical issues with the aircraft, meant it would not be able to take place. The Athletic’s James Pearce reported that the squad was still in Liverpool less than 15 minutes before the press conference in Frankfurt was scheduled to start, underlining the lengthy delay. • READ: Liverpool lineups vs.
