Liverpool will pay tribute to former forward Diogo Jota during their Premier League opener against Bournemouth at Anfield today. Jota, 28, died alongside his younger brother, André Silva, 25, in a car accident in northern Spain last month.
The late player’s family, including his wife and children, are expected to attend the match. A moment of silence will be observed across all Premier League fixtures this weekend, with players wearing black armbands and stadium screens displaying images and messages in memory of the brothers.
At Anfield, fans will lead a special tribute with a mosaic in the Kop and Sir Kenny Dalglish Stand during the silence. Liverpool manager Arne Slot, in his match programme notes, described the occasion as deeply emotional and stressed the club’s ongoing support for Jota’s family.
