The German footballers experienced very unpleasant complications during the night trip from Wednesday’s World Cup qualifying match in Iceland. Their plane had to make an emergency landing in Edinburgh, Scotland, due to unspecified problems, and the team then returned home with a spare machine with a delay.

The Germans traveled from Iceland, where they won high 4: 0, in a Klasjet machine. They set out on the return journey immediately after the match and were to land in Frankfurt am Main before six o’clock in the morning. But over Scotland, the plane suddenly turned sharply and began to descend sharply. The plane sent an emergency signal and landed in Edinburgh unplanned.
“We are fine, the safety inspection of the machine is underway. Safety comes first,” the German association said on the social network. He did not specify what the problems were. “The replacement plane has arrived and we are heading back to Frankfurt and Munich,” the union later added.
