Liverpool legend Ian Rush took part in a moving tribute to Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva ahead of a pre-season friendly in Japan.

Florian Wirtz scored his first goal for Liverpool since completing a £116 million ($156m) British record transfer from Bayer Leverkusen this summer. He opened the scoring for the Reds in a comfortable 3-1 victory over J1 League side Yokohama F Marinos in a pre-season friendly on Wednesday. Trey Nyoni and Rio Ngumoha were the other scorers for the English side.

Liverpool's friendly against Yokohama F Marinos is expected to go ahead despite a tsunami warning in Japan following an earthquake in Russia.

Federico Chiesa has not been included in Liverpool’s 29-man squad for their pre-season tour of Asia, raising fresh questions about his future at Anfield. The Italy international, who struggled to break into Arne Slot’s plans last season, was a surprise omission despite scoring in a 5-0 friendly win over Stoke City just hours before the squad departed.
