And the club's chaplain says Liverpool will take comfort from the club's mantra of You'll Never Walk Alone as they continue to process and grieve Jota's passing.

He said: "The sudden and traumatic nature of the news that we heard took us all time to just even process, never mind empathize and sympathize with.

"And of course, grief is a process and we've got to allow people time for that process

"Of course tears are involved in that.

And that takes time too.

"And allowing the family to grieve with dignity and to allow the family to just begin that process is so vitally important.

"Incidentally, speaking about the fact that we sing, You'll Never Walk Alone, that is an enormous comfort to so many, isn't it?

"We hear it sung as an anthem, or as a battle cry on match day.

I think folk just want to show to the family how much we care and how much we love and that they are in our thoughts and prayers continually.

"You do need time, that's important.

Precious memories and allowing them to grieve in their own way and their own time.

"It's allowing people to express their love for the family.

To express their oneness with the family at this time is so vitally important."
