Andy Robertson Says Liverpool May Never Get Over Diogo Jota’s Death

Liverpool's vice-captain frames the season as a duty of care for a grieving dressing room.

Overview

  • Robertson says the squad may never fully recover from losing Jota and will carry his memory through the season.
  • He describes the period as the toughest of their careers, with football feeling secondary after the July crash that also killed Jota’s brother.
  • The defender says his choice to remain at Liverpool was made before the tragedy, though he felt the club needed him.
  • Recently appointed vice-captain, he says team leaders will help teammates cope and offer support to Jota’s family.
  • Tributes continue, with Liverpool retiring Jota’s No. 20 and Portugal assigning his international number to close friend Rúben Neves, while players and fans marked an emotional opener.
