Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has chosen to cut short his summer holiday and return to England earlier than planned, following the tragic death of teammate Diogo Jota. According to Egyptian outlet Yallakora, Salah will arrive back in Merseyside on Friday, days ahead of his scheduled return to training.
Salah had been enjoying a post-season break, with recent reports placing him in Bodrum (Turkey), Mombasa (Kenya), and Mykonos (Greece). Originally set to rejoin the squad on July 8, he is now returning early to stand in solidarity with the Liverpool team during this time of mourning.
His decision underlines the deep bond and respect shared within the Liverpool squad, especially for Jota, who had become a beloved figure at the club since his arrival from Wolves in 2020.
Jota’s sudden death in a car crash has shaken the football community worldwide. In response, fans are preparing tributes ahead of the new season, and the club is rallying together to support his family and each other.
Salah’s return is more than just professional—it’s a personal gesture, highlighting the unity that continues to define Liverpool, even in moments of heartbreak.
