Chelsea are set to donate part of their bonus pot for winning the Club World Cup to the families of Diogo Jota and Andre Silva.

Liverpool star Jota, 28, and his brother Andre Silva, 25, passed away in a car crash in Spain last month.

Chelsea were the inaugural winners of the newly-expanded Club World Cup as they beat PSG 3-0 in the final on July 13.

The Chelsea squad at the tournament included Pedro Neto, who played alongside Jota for Portugal and Wolves.
