Liverpool has confirmed that the number 20 -shirt will be permanently retired in honor of Diogo Jota.
The tribute is the first time that Liverpool has retired the song of a player during their 133-year-old history, while honoring the lives of Jota and his brother, Andre Silva, who were killed on July 3 in a car accident in Spain.
The pension applies to the club at all levels, including the first team of men, women's team and all academic sides.
Liverpool came to the decision after consultation with Jota's wife, Rute, and other members of his family.
The Reds have also announced plans to pay for them to them during the pre-season friendly for the season against Preston.
There will be a interpretation of 'Youll Never Walk Alone' prior to the kick -off of 3 p.m. and Preston will lay a wreath next to the road supporters, Liverpool said.
A minute of silence will then be observed, with digital tribute on the big screen of the stadium and on PitchSide LED boards.
Players from both teams wear black bracelets.
The pre-match program will also contain written tribute to Jota and Silva.
