Gondomar Honors Jota and Brother on New Season Jerseys

Liverpool's Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva died in a traffic accident in early July. Now the brothers are being honored by their parent club Gondomar in Portugal by being displayed on the club's jerseys next season.

Gondomar presented the season's jerseys over the weekend, where the brothers' faces are clearly visible, and writes in a statement on social media that they are entering the season "with their heart full of memories and emotions".

They describe the brothers as "two sons of Gondomar who left us too early, but who will live forever in our club's and our football's history."

Jota's club Liverpool has also honored the Portuguese by retiring the number 20 for all eternity.

Jota's former teammate James Milner, now in Brighton, will honor his friend by switching to number 20.

It will be an honor to wear his number this season, says Milner.
