Liverpool star reveals new tattoo in tribute to team-mate Diogo Jota – with heartfelt four-word message

Liverpool defender Kostas Tsimikas has unveiled a new tattoo in honor of his deceased teammate Diogo Jota, who died earlier this month in a car accident.

The football player and his brother, Andre Silva, died when their car crashed in the early hours in North Spain.

A series of tribute has been paid in the weeks since then, including Liverpool's decision to retire Jota's no. 20 at all levels, after consultation with his widow and his family.

Tsimikas has brought his own personal tribute, whereby the Liverpool defender has a new tattoo on his left hand.

The tattoo is 'wish you were here', with the message accompanied by Jota's no. 20.

An image of the new Tsimikas tattoo was created online, but it would also have been visible when the Greek defender played in the Liverpool against Preston's preseason.

The competition in Deepdale took place on July 13, only 10 days after Jota's tragic death.

A minute of silence was held prior to the kick -off, while Club Anthem 'Youl Never Walk Alone' was sung.

Preston's club captain Benjamin Whiteman wore a wreath that he placed before the end and players from both teams wore black bracelets, while digital tribute was shown on screens around the ground.
