Former Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson fought back tears as he laid flowers and a Liverpool scarf at Anfield in tribute of his ex-team-mate Diogo Jota.

The pair played alongside one another for three seasons at Merseyside following Jota's arrival from Wolves in 2020.

On Friday, Henderson - now playing for Dutch giants Ajax - made the trip to Anfield to pay his respects to his former colleague after his tragic death. The veteran midfielder, fighting back tears, looked distraught as he joined the legions of Liverpool fans that have paid tribute to the 28-year-old.
