Liverpool endured a tough night on Wednesday, not just with their Carabao Cup semi-final first-leg loss to Tottenham but also with travel disruptions on their return to Merseyside.
James Pearce shared an update on X, explaining:
“Liverpool’s flight back from London couldn’t land at John Lennon Airport due to icy fog. The plane was diverted to Birmingham, with ground transportation arranged for the rest of the journey. Players didn’t get back until the early hours, leading to training being canceled today.”
The severe weather conditions in Liverpool over the past week caused this unexpected disruption, potentially affecting preparation for the upcoming match against Accrington Stanley.
Arne Slot Faces More Frustration
Head coach Arne Slot, already visibly upset after the loss to Spurs, will likely be frustrated by this additional setback.
Meanwhile, Virgil van Dijk also expressed his dissatisfaction following the game, but the canceled training may provide the team with a chance to regroup.
With League Two opposition in the FA Cup up next, Liverpool might opt for squad rotation, offering some players a much-needed break.
This could be a welcome opportunity to reset before the critical match against Nottingham Forest.
For the first time this season, the Reds are experiencing a dip in form and must find a way to turn things around quickly.
