- Liverpool head coach Arne Slot addressed the impact of Diogo Jota's death on the team, stating it is impossible to measure but will not be used as an excuse for poor results.
- Scotland captain Andy Robertson admitted he was deeply affected by the Portugal international's death before a recent World Cup qualifier.
- Jota, along with his brother Andre Silva, died in a car crash in July, and his absence is keenly felt by the club.
- Speculation has arisen that Liverpool's recent dip in form, following a strong start, could be linked to the emotional toll of the tragedy.
- Slot acknowledged the team misses Jota as both a player and a person, while also noting injuries to Florian Wirtz and Conor Bradley, and the return of Alisson Becker.
