Liverpool club, deeply saddened by the tragic death of Diogo Jota, has confirmed a new pre-season schedule. According to local media Liverpool Echo on the 7th (Korea time), Liverpool coach Arne Slot designated the 8th as the start date of the new pre-season.

When joining Liverpool, Jota made it clear he was hungry to compete in the Champions League once again. So it was only fitting that one of the highlights of his first campaign at Anfield came in the competition as he scored a hat-trick in an astonishing 5-0 victory away at Atalanta.

The return of Jordan Henderson to Anfield on Friday was marked not by celebration, but by sorrow. The former Liverpool captain—usually the heartbeat of jubilant Champions League nights and rallying cries in the tunnel—was seen laying flowers outside the stadium, visibly shaken, tearful, and mourning the death of his former teammate, Diogo Jota.
