[Saba Sports News]According
to reports from British media, the entire Arsenal squad has been forced to stay
at Luton Airport due to flight delays caused by a storm. The reports state that
Mikel Arteta had planned to hold a pre-match press conference before heading to
Lorient, but now intends to conduct it via phone. Although Arsenal had to
cancel the press conference due to circumstances beyond their control, they may
still face a warning from UEFA. It is worth mentioning that Newcastle United
faced a similar situation when they were supposed to hold a press conference at
San Siro before their away match against AC Milan but were still on the plane
at the time. As a result, they also received a warning from UEFA. According to
Article 73 of UEFA regulations, clubs are obliged to hold a press conference
between noon and 8 PM on the day before the match, and Newcastle failed to
arrive on time.
