Former Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson made a personal visit to Anfield on Friday to pay his respects to Diogo Jota.

The Reds striker was travelling with his brother, Andre Silva, in northern Spain when his car was involved in a fatal accident in the early hours of Thursday (July 3).

Emergency services were called to the scene shortly after midnight but Jota and his younger sibling, who himself played for Portuguese second-tier team Penafiel, were pronounced dead.

Their bodies were returned to their homeland of Portugal on Thursday evening with a wake held in Gondomar on Friday morning (July 4) and their funeral service to come on Saturday morning (July 6)

Floral tributes have been laid out by supporters outside Anfield since the news, with hundreds coming to pay their own tributes to a popular member of Arne Slot's Premier League title-winning team.

A book of condolences has also been opened at the stadium and Henderson, who captained the Reds to every major trophy, including the Champions League and Premier League between the years of 2019 and 2022, also made an appearance.

An emotional Henderson, whose 12-year career at Anfield saw him play alongside Jota for three, paid his respects alongside fans outside the ground on Friday morning.

Writing on his Instagram account on Thursday, Henderson said: “I really can’t believe what has happened today and all I can think about is Diogo and Andre’s family.

"It’s unimaginable the pain you all must be suffering.

All the laughs we had off the pitch and trying to find ways to wind milly [James Milner] up and get him fined, which we never could.
