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.

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.

Mohamed Salah paid an emotional tribute to Diogo Jota after the Liverpool forward lost his life in a car accident in the early hours of Thursday morning, July 3. Jota and his brother, Andre, were involved in an accident on the A-52 highway near Palacios de Sanabria,
