Heartbroken Liverpool stars return to training for first time since tragic death of Diogo Jota
BRAVE Liverpool stars have arrived for their first day of pre-season training after the heartbreaking death of beloved team-mate Diogo Jota. Jota, 28, and his footballer brother André Silva, 25, tragically died in a car crash, while travelling across Spain to catch a ferry to England, in the early hours of Thursday morning. 14 14 14 14 Jota was driving through Zamora, Spain in a Lamborghini when his flat tyre suddenly burst and sent the car veering off the road, police believe. His brother André, who played for Portuguese second-tier club Penafiel, was also in the car when it caught fire after crashing, killing both men. Jota had married his childhood sweetheart Rute Cardoso, also 28, just 11 days before his death, and leaves behind three small children. The brothers were laid to rest after a gut-wrenching funeral attended by his family, friends and the majority of his Liverpool teammates on Saturday. Arne Slot's team were initially scheduled to return for pre-season on Friday, with a larger group expected on Monday, but the tragic passing of Jota postponed those plans. As their team-mates said goodbye to Jota and Andre in their hometown of Gondomar, northern Portugal, fans paid their respects over 1,000 miles away at Anfield. Slot 's squad, who are still in mourning, returned to their Melwood training base on Tuesday morning. Mohammed Salah, who said Jota's death "left him frightened" in a touching tribute, was one of the first players to arrive. 14 14 14 Salah and Jota played 151 matches together for Liverpool and combined for goals on 19 occasions. Andy Robertson, who wrote one of the most beautiful tributes in memory of his friend Jota, was pictured arriving shortly afterwards, with players passing a stunning floral tribute to the tragic striker on their way in. Raul Jimenez wears Diogo Jota shirt as he walks out for Mexico in emotional tribute before copying star's celebration Robertson went to Jota's wedding a fortnight ago and played a key part in the Portugal international's funeral alongside club captain Virgil van Dijk. The defenders led mourners with two touching wreathes emblazoned with Diogo's number 20 and André's number 30. England defender Joe Gomez was also seen reporting to the AXA Training Centre shortly before right-back Conor Bradley. New £29.5million signing Jeremie Frimpong was pictured driving into training for the first time as a Liverpool player, with Wataru Endo arriving too. 14 14 14 Slot's team are scheduled to play Championship side Preston at Deepdale on Sunday. Liverpool stars will be given the option to miss their first pre-season game if they feel it is too soon after Jota's death - if the game goes ahead. The game could be called off if it is felt it is too soon. A final call will only be taken once the team have resumed training together and after all players and staff have been consulted. Should the game go ahead, ITV are in the frame to air the match, although no final decision has been taken. Matches against AC Milan and Yokohoma FM will follow on 26 and 30 July during a tour of Japan. 14 14 14 Several stars from the footballing world also attended Saturday's funeral, including many of Jota's Portugal team-mates, such as Bruno Fernandes, Diogo Dalot, Ruben Neves, Ruben Dias and Bernardo Silva. Manchester United stars Fernandes and Dalot were granted extended leave from returning to Ruben Amorim's pre-season training on Monday. Liverpool are still in mourning and paid a touching tribute to Jota as they said: "Liverpool Football Club are devastated by the tragic passing of Diogo Jota." They added that everyone at the club is still coming to terms with the "unimaginable loss". The club has opened physical and digital books of condolence. Slot penned his own heartfelt tribute for the Portuguese footballer, saying he was "loved by all" and quoting the fan-favourite chant "his name is Diogo" The club have immortalised Jota's No.20 shirt. It is unknown whether the club have any formal plans to retire the shirt, though some fans have called for that to happen. Overall, Jota made 182 appearances for the Reds and scored 65 goals, while he provided 26 assists. He was part of the Liverpool squad that won the Premier League title last season and previously won the FA Cup and two League Cups.

Muslim soldiers are dismissed from the Army after sharing graphic helmet-cam videos of murdered victims after Hamas October 7 attacks
Two Muslim British Army soldiers shared graphic helmet-cam videos of murdered and desecrated dead bodies after the Hamas October 7 attacks, a court martial heard. Signaller Zakariya Munir and Signaller Mohammed Salah sent on 'grossly offensive' videos capturing the horrific aftermath of the atrocities the day after they took place. The servicemen claimed 'you won't see this in the media' as they shared clips of corpses being kicked and montages of 'dead civilians lying in pools of blood'. The clips were believed to have been filmed from Hamas terrorists after they carried out the attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. The pair also shared another 'exceptionally violent piece of footage' showing an execution carried out by ISIS extremists. The court martial was told Sig Munir found the videos of the ' war crimes ' and mutilated bodies in the Middle East and sent them to colleague Sig Salah. The soldiers exchanged messages about the content, with Sig Munir telling Sig Salah that they would not be shown in the media. Young father Sig Salah then sent them on to other service personnel. Now, the pair of soldiers have both been dismissed from the Army. Bulford Military Court, in Wiltshire, was told Sig Salah's phone was investigated and they were both charged. Sig Munir was charged with four counts of sending offensive messages on a public network. Sig Salah was charged with three counts. Both soldiers, from the 10th Signal Regiment, denied the offences but were convicted by court martial. Sig Munir and Sig Salah had served in the armed forces since 2021 and 2019 respectively. Sig Salah has a three-month old son with his wife. October 7, 2023, saw Hamas and several other Palestinian militant groups launch coordinated attacks from the Gaza Strip into Israel. It was the first invasion into Israel since the 1948 Arab-Israeli war. Around 2,800 people were killed. Lieutenant Colonel Felicity Bryson, prosecuting at Bulford Military Court, said: 'The case concerns messages sent by Sig Munir to Sig Salah and then sent to other personnel. 'They depicted real scenes of brutality during the October Hamas attacks. 'On October 8 Sig Munir said he had a video of the attack and that they won't be shown in the media. 'The video was taken from a head cam from the perspective of an irregular fighter. 'They show faces and bodies of corpses being searched and being kicked by the cameraman. 'Sig Munir asked whether he wanted to see another one, saying it was a bit graphic though. 'He asked whether he was on Telegram, saying it was all on there. 'Sig Munir sent a video showing montages of soldiers in barracks interspersed with dead civilians lying in pools of blood. 'He later sent a video of a group of young men shoving and urinating on elderly men who had their heads bagged and hands tied.' One of the videos was an ISIS execution, it was heard. Lt Col Bryson said: 'On October 31 Sig Munir sent a video of a group of men with a group of detainees kneeling behind them. 'Each stepped forward and executed them with a single gun shot. It was an exceptionally violent piece of footage. Sig Salah did not send this footage on. 'Sig Salah's phone was later explored and an investigation was launched.' Fiona Edington, defending for Sig Munir, said: 'He is a young and naive soldier who has become susceptible to peer pressure. 'His Colonel said he is a developing soldier who made a mistake and is showing clear signs of learning. He has a lot to offer to the British Army.' James Hay, defending for Sig Salah, said: 'Sig Salah suffers from extreme anxiety. His arrest led to instances of vomiting and hyperventilating. 'His priority is now the welfare of his wife and young son.' Judge Advocate General Alan Large dismissed both soldiers. Judge Large said: 'You sent messages to each other about the October 7 attacks. There is nothing sinister about that. 'However you then contacted him with videos saying 'You won't see this in the media'. 'This all happened in the context of events that were globally important. You sent these grossly offensive videos in the immediate aftermath of these events. 'The videos showed bodies that had been violated and it is highly likely that they were taken by those who had committed murder and war crimes. 'The last video actually showed people being murdered. 'You were both serving members of the British Army and when you sign up for that there are certain values that you must adhere to. 'There were plenty of opportunities for you to seek advice but you decided to distribute the videos. You must have realised that these videos could have been distributed further.'
