Man United Grant Bruno and Dalot Additional Leave After Jota Tragedy

The former Liverpool player and his brother tragically passed away on Thursday morning in Spain.

The players attended the funeral of their friend Diogo Jota and national teammate on Saturday.

According to The Sun, via Sportal, Sporting CP, led by manager Ruben Amorim, who returned to training on Monday, has also given the two players an additional week off to recover from the tragic loss of their national teammate and league colleague.

The newspaper quotes a club source: "The United players have rallied around them. They've been offered an extended week of leave, as well as psychological support and counseling. Both played with Jota for ten years in the national team and won the Nations League together just a few weeks ago."

Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp, along with players such as Virgil van Dijk, Andy Robertson, Joe Gomez, Harvey Elliott, Ibrahima Konaté, Curtis Jones, Wataru Endo, Darwin Núñez, Alexis Mac Allister, Conor Bradley, Ryan Gravenberch, Cody Gakpo, and Federico Chiesa, accompanied by former Reds Fabinho, Thiago Alcântara, Caoimhín Kelleher, James Milner, and Jordan Henderson, attended the funeral of their former teammate.
