“We will miss you so much, but you will stay with us forever, on and off the pitch.

Rest in peace, brother.”

Striker Darwin Nunez expressed his sympathies on Instagram, saying: “There are no words of comfort for so much pain.

“I will always remember you with your smile, as a good companion on and off the field.

“I send all my strength to his family, from where he is I’m sure he will always be with you, especially his wife and three children.”

Nunez signed off “Q.E.P.D (que en paz descanse – may he rest in peace) Diogo and Andre”.

Harvey Elliott, a member of England Under-21s’ European Championship-winning team, posted: “Diogo, I can’t believe you’re gone.

You were humble, hard-working, kind, and always there for anyone that needed anything.

“I feel so lucky to have shared the pitch with you, shared memories and moments I’ll carry with me forever.

But I can’t see it!
