Footballers from around the world have convened on Gondomar, Portugal, to attend Diogo Jota’s funeral.

Jota and brother Andre Silva, a professional player for Portuguese side Penafiel, died on Thursday after being involved in a car crash in Zamora, Spain.

The Liverpool forward, 28, was travelling back to England for the start of pre-season training after being advised not to fly following minor surgery.

The service was held at the Chapel of Resurrection in Gondomar, on the outskirts of Porto.
