FA ‘to seek guidance from Liverpool on Community Shield tribute to Diogo Jota following star’s tragic death’

The FA is said to have discussions with Liverpool with regard to planning a tribute to Diogo Jota in the Shield Community in Wembley next month.

Jota and his brother Andre Silva tragically lost their lives in a car accident in the early hours on Thursday morning.

The 28-year-old drove through Zamora in Northern Spain with his brother Andre Silva in an attempt to catch a ferry that would take him back to England to link his side to the preseason.

The death of Jota has covered both his home country and his adopted mourning, with Premier League fans who travel to Anfield to pay tribute to the attacker.

The Premier League champions will be confronted on 10 August with FA Cup winners Crystal Palace in next season's curtainrais and there is little doubt that the opportunity will be used as an opportunity to remember the Portuguese and his brother.

BBC Sport reports that FA officials will meet Liverpool to do this to do this.

There is a long history of using large football matches to express respect to those who have died.

And this will be particularly emotional with the Jota team that is directly involved in the game.

Liverpool has canceled the phased return of players for training for the season while they continue to mourn the death of their attacker.

The first group of the Arne Slot team was planned to attend the AXA training complex of the club on Friday for the opening round of physical tests after their summer vacation.

However, it is clear that it has been postponed if the club treats with the aftermath of the shocking tragedy.
