Home LFC News Liverpool, on the back of four consecutive defeats, didn't get an easy ride even on their planned trip to Germany last night. The 4pm flight to Frankfurt was kicked back to nearly 8pm after an issue was discovered with the plane.

UEFA have indicated that the reds will not be fined for this breach of their contractual obligations due to the matter being out of their hands. It is not ideal preparation as the reds seek to avoid defeat - Liverpool having not sustained 5 consecutive defeats since 1953 - a full six years before even Bill Shankly arrived at Anfield.

Slot said that the build up to the game should not be hampered by the late arrival into Germany: 'It will not impact the build-up to the game. That cannot be an excuse for the game.' What could impact the game is the injury to Ryan Gravenberch who misses the trip after sustaining an ankle injury in the defeat to Man Utd.
