The majority of Arne Slot’s first-team squad attended the funeral of Jota and his brother, Andre Silva, in Gondomar on Saturday.

The brothers were killed in a car crash in the early hours of Thursday morning after their vehicle veered off the road following a tyre blowout. They had been travelling across Spain to catch a ferry in order to travel back to Merseyside for the start of the Reds’ preseason.

Liverpool took the decision to postpone the start of their preseason training schedule following Jota’s passing.
