The Clarets have been delayed on their flight north, ahead of tomorrow's Europa League second qualifying round first leg against Aberdeen at Pittodrie, and tonight's UEFA press conference has been postponed.

The squad encountered technical difficulties with their plane, and due to the delay will not be able to visit the stadium this evening.
