Liverpool have returned to action in preseason with the club still digesting the news of Diogo Jota’s death.
The Portugal international died in a car accident in Spain early in July, with Arne Slot delaying his squad’s return to training following the sad incident.
Once preparations for the new season have begun, Slot’s side will start to think about the defence of their Premier League title having achieved domestic success in their first season under the Dutchman.
Their opening friendly against Preston was an emotional occasion as the club paid tribute to Jota.
When did Liverpool’s preseason begin?
Liverpool’s preseason began on 13 July against Preston North End. A preseason tour of Asia, encompassing fixtures in Hong Kong and Japan, is scheduled for later in July.
