Family and friends of Liverpool forward Diogo Jota and his brother are gathering at a chapel where their bodies have been brought for a wake.

Prime Minister Luis Montenegro joined members of Diogo Jota’s family for a private wake on Friday in the Liverpool footballer’s hometown in northern Portugal following his death alongside his brother Andre Silva in a car crash in Spain.

The Liverpool squad are set to attend Diogo Jota’s funeral in Portugal on Saturday, with thousands of mourners expected to pay their respects.
