Diogo Jota funeral: Virgil Van Dijk and Andrew Robertson arrive

Liverpool's first game since Diogo Jota tragically died in a car crash is set to be shown on ITV 1 - if it goes ahead.

The first group of players were due to return on Friday, with a larger group set to join up on Monday.

The majority of the squad attended the funerals of Jota and his brother Andre on Saturday and it is understood that the club have not yet made a decision about whether the game against Preston will be played.

That call will be made once everyone has returned for pre-season and all the players and staff have been consulted.

It is also noted that Joe Speight and former Liverpool defender Stephen Warnock are set to commentate on the match.

Preston are said to be preparing for the fixture as though it is going ahead, with the Championship side planning to pay tribute to Jota.

They are of a father, a son, a brother and an uncle and they belong to the family of Diogo and Andre Silva who have experienced such an unimaginable loss.

"My message to them is very clear – you will never walk alone.

The players, the staff, the supporters of Liverpool Football Club are all with you and from what I have seen today, the same can be said of the wider family of football.

It is also a reaction to the goodness of the people involved and the respect that so many have for the boys as individuals and for the family as a whole.
