Liverpool Football Club has postponed the phased return of players for pre-season training following the death of forward Diogo Jota. The club is currently in mourning and has canceled the planned pre-season tests for a small number of first-team players. Mohamed Salah expressed his concerns about returning to training without Jota, highlighting the emotional impact on the squad. Jota, who had recently undergone surgery for a persistent pulmonary issue, was expected to return to training on July 7. The club is also grieving the death of Jota's brother, Andre Silva, which has compounded the sense of loss within the team.
