The physio of Diogo Jota has explained his talks with Diogo Jota and what he noticed in the hours before the accident.

The accident occurred at approximately 12:30 AM local time on the A-52 motorway near Cernadilla, in the province of Zamora, northwestern Spain.

 According to the Spanish Civil Guard, the brothers were traveling in a Lamborghini when the vehicle suffered a catastrophic tire blowout while overtaking another car.

The car veered off the road and thus caused the fatal accident.

Friday afternoon will mark the beginning of formal tributes when a wake commences at 3pm at the chapel of São Cosme funeral parlour.

This traditional ceremony will provide the first opportunity for family, friends, and the wider community to gather and pay their respects to the brothers who captured hearts both locally and internationally.

Now Miguel Goncalves, Diogo Jota’s physio, has revealed that the pair was en-route to Satander to catch a ferry to England:

“I said goodbye to him and his brother, Andre, at around 8:30 p.m,” Goncalves told Portuguese outlet Record.

“His brother was a great companion and decided to go with him, to accompany him on the trip, and that way they would also spend more time together.

They were going to travel at night because it was cooler, but they weren’t going direct.

“He told me that the journey would take about eight hours, but that they would stop at a hotel in the Burgos area to rest.

Diogo was very aware of his professionalism.

I said goodbye to him at dinner time,” Goncalves said.

“He made an extraordinary recovery, he was undoubtedly an unparalleled professional.

He strictly followed what I told him, as you could see in the way he was recovering.”

“The base of his right lung had collapsed a little, but with the post-surgery physiotherapy he was practically flawless?

When I left him yesterday he was no longer in pain and was going to return to Liverpool.”

“He was excited, confident in his recovery and enthusiastic about the next season.”

“He told me that he would not go on the pre-season tour that Liverpool is going to Japan to strengthen his recovery, he believed he was going to have a great season.”
