Liverpool Set to Avoid UEFA Fine After Eintracht Frankfurt Plans Thrown Into Disarray

On Tuesday, Liverpool's flight to Germany was delayed, leaving the squad grounded at Liverpool John Lennon Airport and cancelling the pre-match briefing at Deutsche Bank Park.
The club said the delay stemmed from technical issues with the aircraft, and it was not immediately clear when the departure time would be on Tuesday at Liverpool John Lennon Airport.
Sources told ESPN the plane finally departed at 7.51 p.m. BST, three hours and 51 minutes later than planned, after Liverpool trained at lunchtime with Ryan Gravenberch absent.
By not arriving the night before, Liverpool football club risk breaching Article 48 of UEFA's rules, though Arsenal avoided fines for a five-hour delay to Lens deemed beyond their control.
With form slipping, the travel delay compounds pre-match challenges as Liverpool football club faces four straight losses before their Champions League fixture against Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday.
