The funerals of Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva will take place at 10am on Saturday morning in Gondomar, a half-hour drive inland from the northern Portuguese city of Porto.

On Friday afternoon the Liverpool forward's wife Rute and family members attended a private wake at Sao Cosme Chapel with priest Jose Manuel Macedo set to oversee the funeral at the Igreja Matriz de Gondomar catholic church.

It is unclear how private the service will be but Portugal's president Marcelo de Sousa has confirmed he will be among those in attendance.

Father-of-three Diogo was killed in the early hours of Thursday morning along with his footballer brother Andre Silva when the Lamborghini Huracan they were travelling in burst into flames after a suspected tyre blowout on the A-52 highway near Zamora in north-west Spain.

They were heading to the northern port city of Santander to catch a ferry to the UK after the Liverpool player and Portugal international was advised not to travel by plane following lung surgery.

Jota began his footballing career at a club in Gondomar and is also thought to have met his wife there during their time as teenagers.

I even called him Diogo MacJota.

How much he was bursting with love for his wife and family.

Love you, Diogo."
