However, they have received special permission to join later after the heartbreaking loss of their fellow countryman Diogo Jota.

The Liverpool forward, aged 28, along with his brother Andre, 25, tragically lost their lives in a car accident on Thursday.

Fernandes and Dalot attended the funeral in Portugal on Saturday.

A source commented: “Bruno and Diogo are devastated and in shock following the funeral. The team has come together to support them, offering a week’s extended leave along with counseling services.”

The duo had played alongside Jota for a decade in the national team, recently celebrating a Nations League victory just weeks ago.

In a heartfelt message following Jota’s passing, Fernandes expressed: “May you and your brother find the peace you need.”

Liverpool has also postponed the squad’s return for pre-season due to Jota’s untimely death.
