Liverpool Squad Returns to Training After Diogo Jota Tragic Death

News summary

Liverpool players have returned to pre-season training at the AXA Training Centre just days after the tragic death of forward Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva in a car accident while traveling in Spain. The team, led by manager Arne Slot, had initially postponed their return to training out of respect and mourning, but resumed as they continue to cope with the loss of their teammate. Most of the first-team squad attended Jota's funeral in Gondomar, Portugal, alongside club officials and former teammates, with an atmosphere of deep sorrow expressed by players like Mohamed Salah, who described the emotional difficulty of returning without Jota. Liverpool's first friendly match of the summer against Preston North End, scheduled for July 13, remains under consideration, with the final decision pending consultation with players and staff; Preston has also prepared tributes to honor Jota. Jota, who was 28, had recently celebrated his wedding and leaves behind a wife and three young children. His contributions to Liverpool included 182 appearances, 65 goals, and being part of the squad that won the Premier League, FA Cup, and two League Cups.
