Andy Robertson pays touching tribute to Diogo Jota outside Anfield after returning to training with Liverpool

In the early hours of Thursday morning, Jota, 28, and his 26-year-old brother Andre were involved in a horrific crash near Palacios de Sanabria in Spain. Reports indicate they were on their way to catch a ferry bound for the UK in preparation for Liverpool's preseason when their Lamborghini lost control, veered off the road, and caught fire upon impact.

The club had initially intended to begin preseason training last Friday, but following Jota’s passing, all plans were put on hold. When the squad did return on Tuesday, they were greeted by a sea of floral arrangements and tributes at the training centre. Many of these memorials were inscribed with the iconic Liverpool anthem line: "You'll Never Walk Alone," a phrase that has become a symbol of the club’s unity and compassion in moments of tragedy.

Robertson was among the many who paid their respects to his late teammate. The left-back left a heartfelt handwritten message at a growing memorial site outside Anfield, which read: "Our hearts are broken. But feeling very grateful for the memories you gave us all. I will miss you. Love you, brother. Robbo."

Liverpool were scheduled to play Preston North End in a preseason friendly on July 13. However, in light of recent events, the fixture's status remains uncertain. No official decision has been made, but it is expected that the club will prioritize the emotional well-being of its players during this period of mourning.
