Liverpool players are back to training after the burial of teammate Diogo Jota who was laid to rest on Saturday.
The players were set to resume pre-season training on July 4 but that was postponed after Jota and his younger brother Andre Silva perished in a car accident in Zamora, Spain on July 3.
The 28-year-old forward was returning to Liverpool for the training.
Jota who joined Liverpool from Wolves in 2020 was driving after doctors advised him against flying because he had undergone minor surgery.
The funeral took place on Saturday in their hometown of Gondomar in Portugal.
Manager Arne Slot was also part of Liverpool’s delegation.
Liverpool is due to play their first pre-season match against Preston North End at Deepdale on Sunday.
