Arne Slot has revealed that Diogo Jota's family will be at Anfield for their Premier League opener against Bournemouth.

Jota tragically passed away in a car crash alongside his brother last month shortly after getting married.

The footballer tied the knot with his long-term partner Rute Cardoso in June, with the couple having three children together, and Jota's family are set to attend Liverpool's first league game since his passing.

In his programme notes ahead of the game, Liverpool boss Arne Slot wrote: "As I have said previously, the tributes that have been paid throughout the football world, and especially within the LFC community, have been truly special, and I know that tonight we will come together to honour them once more.

"I believe that Diogo's wife, his children and his family will be in attendance and it is important that, as a club, we show that they will always have our love and support as they deal with this most tragic of situations.

It was part of the game.

These are signs……

"I'd like to take this opportunity to send my warmest regards to his family, whom we must never forget, as they are the ones who are suffering the most from the tragic passing of him and his brother André.
