Liverpool have taken the unprecedented step of permanently retiring the Number 20 jersey from each of their club’s teams to honour Diogo Jota’s memory.

Jota’s widow, Rute Cardoso, and members of his family visited the floral memorial that has been laid at Anfield in the week since the striker and his brother, Andre Silva, were killed in a car crash in Northern Spain.

They were joined by Liverpool’s squad, who returned to training on Tuesday and who will play for the first time since the tragedy at Preston on Sunday, where a minute’s silence will be observed.
