After the first leg of their Women's Champions League semi-final match against Wolfsburg, Arsenal was forced to stay an additional night in Germany due to a "technical issue" with their jet.
According to the PA news agency, a bird struck one of the engines just before takeoff, starting a fire.
The squad ultimately made it back to their hotel without any injuries.
"Our aircraft developed a technical issue prior to take-off in Germany on Sunday evening," Arsenal said.
"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."
Arsenal came back to tie Wolfsburg at 2-2 after falling down by two goals.
On May 1st, the second leg will take place at Emirates Stadium.
