Preparations are made for Jota funeral

PREPARATIONS have begun for the funeral of Liverpool footballer Diogo Jota as tributes continue to flood in for the Portuguese international following his death in a car crash in Spain.

The father-of-three, who married his long-term partner Rute Cardoso 11 days before the incident, was killed alongside his brother Andre Silva after a Lamborghini they were travelling in burst into flames following a suspected tyre blowout in the early hours of Thursday morning.

Flowers could be seen being carried into a chapel in Porto ahead of the 28-year-old’s funeral - which parish priest at the Igreja Matriz de Gondomar in Sao Cosme, Jose Manuel Macedo, said would begin at 10am on Saturday.

A wake for the brothers took place on Friday afternoon at the nearby Capela da Ressurreicao.

Portuguese Prime Minister Luis Montenegro was one of a number of people to arrive at the chapel for the wake on Friday.

Liverpool Football Club postponed the return of players for preseason following Jota’s death, as a number of players past and present paid tribute.
