Liverpool head coach Arne Slot insists his side will have no excuses tomorrow night at Eintracht Frankfurt despite a delayed flight hitting their pre-match preparations

Liverpool's preparations for their Champions League clash with Eintracht Frankfurt were thrown into disarray when their flight to Germany was delayed by almost four hours on Tuesday. The Reds were left stranded at Liverpool John Lennon Airport after the plane on which they were scheduled to travel for Wednesday's clash against the Bundesliga side suffered technical issues.

The flight eventually left Merseyside shortly before 8pm with Liverpool unable to attend the usual pre-match media conference, which was scheduled to take place in Frankfurt at the stadium at 6.30pm UK time.
