Liverpool resume training after Diogo Jota death, arrive to tributes
Liverpool players reported back for preseason training on Tuesday, five days after the death of forward Diogo Jota.
Jota and his brother André Silva were killed in a car crash in the early hours of Thursday. They were believed to be driving to a ferry in Spain to travel to the UK for the start of Liverpool’s preseason when the Lamborghini they were driving veered off the road and burst into flames.
Some Liverpool players were due to begin training for the new season last Friday, but the club postponed those plans after Jota’s passing.
Arne Slot and many of the first-team squad were present at the brothers’ funeral in Gondomar, Portugal, on Saturday.
On Tuesday, Liverpool players returned to the AXA Training Centre and arrived to several floral tributes, many marked with the words from the club’s anthem: “You’ll Never Walk Alone.”
The Premier League champions are scheduled to play their first friendly of the summer against Preston North End on July 13, though it is uncertain whether the game will take place.
