Liverpool players have started to report back for pre-season at the club's training ground following the death of team-mate Diogo Jota.

Mohamed Salah, Andy Roberston, Joe Gomez and Conor Bradley were among the players to arrive on Tuesday for the start of pre-season.

Some of the Liverpool squad had been scheduled to return for pre-season training on Friday but the club delayed their return after Jota was killed in a car crash alongside his brother Andre Silva last Thursday.

Their funeral in their home town of Gondomar, near Porto, was attended by many of Jota’s Liverpool team-mates and staff.

Liverpool's first pre-season friendly is scheduled for Sunday against Preston at Deepdale, but the Premier League champions have yet to announce whether the game will go ahead.

The Reds, who will play FA Cup winners Crystal Palace in the Community Shield on August 10, are also scheduled to face AC Milan in Hong Kong and J1 League side Yokohama in Japan at the end of July.

Liverpool Women players Grace Fisk and Gemma Bonner laid a floral tribute for Jota and Andre Silva on behalf of their team outside Anfield on Tuesday.
