Liverpool players continue to honour the memory of their teammate Diogo Jota with a touching gesture outside Anfield ahead of a pre-season training.

Jota and his brother André Silva passed away on Thursday, July 3, 2025, after a car accident in Zamora, Spain, throwing the football world into mourning.

His Liverpool and Portugal national teammates have been paying their tribute to them, including attending their wake and funeral service, as well as messages on social media.

They also extended condolences to his wife, Rute Cardoso, whom he married 11 days before his unfortunate demise and his three children, Dinis, Duarte, and Mafalda.

According to Liverpool Echo, the club postponed their pre-season training, which was due to resume on July 4, to July 8 in honour of the former Portugal national team star.

The club against the usual tradition have yet to share any images from their training, but their media has been filled with activities in honour of their former player.

Liverpool shared a video on X in which their players, led by goalkeeper Alisson, laid roses outside of Anfield, amongst many other memorials from fans and well-wishers.

Fans were yet again refreshed of the grief associated with the death of their beloved player and made touching comments in his honour.

“I wasn't alive for Hillsborough, I was born in 81 and been a fan since 87. I have never felt closer to this team as I do right now. Jota was A Player that I begged to sign when he was with Wolves. Despite his setbacks the magic he performed was incredible, left foot, right foot and head. This was one of the most complete footballers in LFC and that says a lot considering the talent that has graced us at this club. I have never cried over someone that was not a family or friend but this hurt me. I will never forget his time with us.”

The Portuguese forward joined the club in 2020, wore the number 20 and was crucial in helping the club win their 20th Premier League crown in Arne Slot's first season.
