Ireland captain Katie McCabe was among the passengers on board.
ARSENAL STAYED AN extra night in Germany following Sunday’s Women’s Champions League semi-final first leg at Wolfsburg after a “technical issue” with the plane.
PA understands a bird flew into the left engine just as the plane was about to lift off at full speed on the runway, which caused an engine to catch fire. “As a result, we remained in Wolfsburg overnight on Sunday before flying back to England on Monday afternoon. We would like to thank the staff on board the aircraft and on the ground at the airport for their assistance.”
