After Jota's death, Fernandez posted a tribute on his social networking service saying, `I hope you and your brother find peace.'
Liverpool also postponed the start of pre-season training after hearing the news of Jota's death. The return to training for the first time, which was scheduled for the 4th, has been rescheduled for this day.
Liverpool, led by head coach Arne Slot, is scheduled to play its first preseason game against Preston on the 13th.
Japan's tour schedule is then scheduled, including games against AC Milan on the 27th and Yokohama on the 30th.
On the 5th, Jota and his brother Silva were killed in a car accident on a highway near Palacios de Sanabria, Spain, heading to the northern Spanish port city of Santander at 12:30 a.m. While Jota's vehicle was overtaking the car in front of him, the tire was damaged and left the road, and a fire broke out in the vehicle later.
Jota was recently advised to refrain from boarding the plane after undergoing lung surgery, and was reportedly traveling to take a ferry.
