Liverpool head coach Arne Slot was forced to cancel his scheduled training session on Thursday (local time) due to weather factors.
The Kop just lost to Tottenham in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final away. Lucas Bergvall's only goal for Spurs caused Liverpool many difficulties in the second leg.
Before thinking about a comeback against Tottenham, Liverpool need to prepare for the match in the third round of the FA Cup against Accrington Stanley. And once again, the weather has affected Slot's side.
The UK has just welcomed a cold front with a sharp drop in temperatures. While the clash with Spurs was not affected, Liverpool's journey back to Merseyside encountered more problems than expected.
According to The Athletic, Liverpool's flight from London could not land at Liverpool John Lennon Airport due to fog and ice. Instead, their plane was diverted to Birmingham International Airport, about 164 km from the original site.
The delay in the flight means Liverpool players cannot return to the headquarters until early morning. That forced Slot to cancel the planned training session on Thursday. Weather has been a familiar problem for Liverpool this season, with their trip to Everton also delayed due to Darragh.
The heavy snowfall in Liverpool also made the match against Manchester United last weekend suspicious. Finally, the match took place in the context of snow piled up on the sidelines.
After the loss to Tottenham, Slot admitted that Liverpool players did not play well enough. The "Red Brigade" is showing signs of decline recently.
"If you compare it to the 6-3 win in the Premier League, it's clear. However, I don't think we will reach that level in every match. When we arrived here, we knew it would never be the same as the game we played a week or two ago, we controlled the ball more.
There were many good things for me, more than the match against Man United, but the result was not as good. We failed, but it's not over yet, we still have 90 minutes left in the return game" - Slot said after the loss to Tottenham.
The FA Cup match between Liverpool and Stanley takes place at 7:15 p.m. on January 11 (Vietnam time).
