Reds must play in Spain
UEFA have decided that Liverpool's Europa League semi-final first leg tie at Atletico Madrid on Thursday will go ahead, despite volcanic dust preventing flights to northern Europe. According to The Guardian... With the flying ban extended until tomorrow morning at the earliest Liverpool are having to plan for a worst-case scenario by tackling the 2,600-mile round trip overland. The journey by road would take an estimated 21 hours non-stop but that would be impractical, although the alternative of a two-day trip would mean the squad would have to leave just a few hours after tonight's Premier League match at home to West Ham and get back shortly before an away game at Burnley on Sunday. A combination of road and rail travel is another potential option.
