The tragic death of Liverpool forward Diogo Jota has shaken the entire football community. The loss is especially devastating for the Scousers themselves, who will face Crystal Palace on August 10 in the Community Shield match. The Football Association is determined to pay tribute to the Portuguese striker in the most fitting way.
Details: According to the BBC, FA representatives intend to meet with Liverpool to discuss the specifics of organizing a farewell ceremony for Jota and his brother at the Community Shield match.
Reminder: The club has canceled the scheduled return of players to training, which was planned for Friday. The squad was set to undergo initial fitness tests after the summer break at the training base, but the club postponed the date due to the tragedy. Nevertheless, Mohamed Salah has cut short his holiday in Greece and is heading back to England. The player's funeral is also scheduled for today.
