Liverpool confirmed the friendly match with the Preston North End on Sunday this week will still take place as planned instead of canceling.
The exchange between the two clubs took place after Diogo Jota and his younger brother Andre Silva died in a catastrophic car accident in Spain a week ago.
However, Liverpool will still make a short trip to Deepdale on July 13, when teachers and coach Arne Slot prepared for an emotional re -appearance, while they were still trying to overcome the sudden loss of a very popular teammate.
The Preston side is working with Liverpool officials to agree on the appropriate memorial for Jota before the game begins.
Currently, the majority of Liverpool's first team players returned to Kirkby training center on July 8 to start the pre -season training period. After that, coach Slot and his wife Mirjam went to Anfield to place flowers at the memorial area outside the yard.
“Diogo, we used to have the same dream and have turned it into reality. Andre and he will be forever in our hearts,” the message from the Slot family.
Andy Robertson, one of the players who went to Portugal to attend the funeral last Saturday, also left his gratitude to his best friend that he called by the nickname “Macjota” for his interest in his entertainment activities such as horse racing, darts or Bi-a.
“Our heart broke, but extremely grateful to the memories you left for us. I will miss you, my brother – Robbo,” Robertson said.
