Arsenal’s travel plans for their match against Leeds United were derailed by heavy fog, forcing the Premier League leaders to undertake a 200-mile coach journey to Yorkshire.
Arsenal’s preparations for Saturday’s clash at Leeds United suffered a major setback after thick fog forced the squad to abandon their flight.
The title-chasers were left with no choice but to endure a lengthy road trip via the M1 instead of a quick hop to Leeds-Bradford Airport.
Despite the disruption, Mikel Arteta remains focused on his team’s performance following a recent dip in form.
The manager emphasized the need for his players to maintain their self-belief during this challenging period.
Arteta addressed the squad’s mindset, stating: “But I think my role is to bring optimism and reality of where we are… We are doing so many things so well and let’s focus mainly on that.”
The Gunners currently hold a four-point lead at the top of the table.
