Jota was killed in a car crash in Spain last Thursday alongside his brother Andre Silva and their funeral in their home town of Gondomar, near Porto, was attended by many of the Portugal forward's Liverpool team-mates and staff.
Some of Arne Slot's squad had been scheduled to return for pre-season training on Friday, but the club delayed their return following the accident.
