Here is why Liverpool FC's latest training session was cancelled

As clubs gear up for the weekend FA Cup fixtures, here is why Liverpool FC's last training session was cancelled.

Liverpool's return journey following their Carabao Cup match against Tottenham Hotspur was plagued by travel complications which led to the cancellation of their final training session ahead of their FA cup fixture. The team's flight encountered an unexpected diversion, significantly disrupting their travel arrangements.

The team may now have to revise their training schedule to recover the lost session. The flight disruption was likely caused by unpredictable factors such as adverse weather conditions or air traffic control challenges. Regardless of the cause, the inconvenience had a notable impact on the team's travel logistics, potentially influencing their performance on the field.

Liverpool travelled to north London for the first leg of their semi-final clash with Tottenham on Wednesday. They had planned to fly back to Merseyside using the same route, but bad weather conditions disrupted these plans. According to The Times, freezing fog prevented their aircraft from landing at John Lennon Airport, forcing it to divert to Birmingham. The team was subsequently transported back to Merseyside using a combination of a coach and cars.

Adding to the frustration of the trip, Liverpool suffered a 1-0 defeat to Tottenham. The decisive moment came when Lucas Bergvall scored the winner, but controversy surrounded the game as Bergvall had earlier avoided a second yellow card for a late challenge on Kostas Tsimikas.

This decision left Liverpool players and staff feeling discontented, with Virgil van Dijk particularly vocal about the referee's judgment. Van Dijk believed Bergvall should have been sent off, and his continued presence on the pitch was viewed as a turning point. Despite the contentious call, Bergvall secured the goal that gave Tottenham the advantage, leaving Liverpool facing a tough challenge to overturn the deficit in the second leg.
