Before the Europa League duel in France
Defect in the plane: Bundesliga team visits garden center

In Nice, SC Freiburg wants to get three points in the Europa League. However, the journey did not start without problems.
SC Freiburg started its Europa League trip with a delay. The Bundesliga club was unable to take off from Lahr Airport to France on Wednesday as planned.
Reason for the delay: technical problems with the aircraft. This was announced by a spokesman for the Breisgau company. The team had to accept delays. As the sports club announced via “Bluesky”, the team is now on its way to Nice.
Curious: The players used the waiting time before departure for a spontaneous trip to a garden center. Photos on “Bluesky” show Vincenzo Grifo and his teammates in a canteen.
The game at OGC Nice takes place on Thursday evening (from 6:45 p.m. in the live ticker on t-online). Coach Julian Schuster’s team scheduled the final training session in Freiburg before they left.
