Diogo Jota and Andre Silva were laid to rest on Saturday in a funeral service in Gondomar, northern Portugal, and tributes continue to be paid to the pair from all corners of the world.
Liverpool's players will begin to return for pre-season this week, and it remains to be seen whether or not the weekend's friendly with Preston North End will go ahead.
Arne Slot and his side are set to begin preparations for the new season but that, of course, is secondary to the mourning of a teammate lost in tragic circumstances.
"For us as a club, the sense of shock is absolute," Slot said on Thursday.
"Diogo was not just our player.
He was a teammate, a colleague, a workmate and in all of those roles he was very special.
"I could say so much about what he brought to our team but the truth is everyone who watched Diogo play could see it.
The essence of what a Liverpool player should be."
We'll have all the updates throughout the day as tributes continue to be paid to Diogo Jota.
