Arsenal's flight to Naples for their Champions League game against Napoli experienced delays on Tuesday. The disruption was attributed to widespread issues within the UK's air traffic control system, caused by a technical failure.
The delay meant the flight was several hours behind schedule, leading to the cancellation of manager Mikel Arteta's pre-match press conference.
Arteta revealed that he had anticipated such challenges, having deliberately created similar scenarios during pre-season training to prepare the team for unexpected situations and foster adaptability.
