Mohamed Salah said the death of Liverpool teammate Diogo Jota in a car crash had left him "frightened" to return to the club as the Premier League champions postponed the return of some players for pre-season training.

Mohamed Salah has posted a tribute to Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva. On X he wrote: I am truly lost for words. Until yesterday, I never thought there would be something that would frighten me of going back to Liverpool after the break.

The Liverpool forward posted the message on social media a little over 24 hours after the news of Jota's passing was confirmed by Spanish police.
