Day of mourning ahead of Diogo Jota's funeral: Liverpool star's heartbroken wife and family and friends visit chapel in Portugal where coffin is being held before tomorrow's ceremony

Diogo Jota's heartbroken wife and his family have arrived at the Portuguese chapel where the Liverpool star's coffin has been taken along with his late brother Andre for a wake.

Rute Cardoso, who only married the 28-year-old footballer on June 22, walked into Sao Cosme Chapel in Gondomar after returning with her husband's body from Spain late last night ahead of tomorrow's funeral.

The town overlooking Porto is where the couple met and started dating as teenagers. They married less than two weeks ago.

The siblings' mother Isabel and their grandfather were also spotted at the chapel.
