Liverpool are set to hold talks with the FA and Crystal Palace<\/a> over a tribute to late striker Diogo Jota<\/a> during the Community Shield next month.<\/b><\/p>\n

While Liverpool have postponed the start of their pre-season testing to next week, their campaign will officially kick off with the Community Shield on August 10.<\/p>\n

It will see the Premier League<\/a> champions face FA Cup<\/a> winners Crystal Palace<\/a> at Wembley in the charity game organised by the FA.<\/p>\n

According to BBC Sport<\/a>\u2018s Sami Mokbel, there are plans in place for a tribute to late Liverpool striker Jota, likely ahead of kickoff in that game.<\/p>\n

The FA will hold talks with both Liverpool and Crystal Palace<\/a> before deciding on the scale of any proceedings, with it noted that black armbands and periods of silence are used to honour those who have lost their lives.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Jota\u2019s passing has been felt significantly throughout football and it is doubtful there would be any opposition to the 28-year-old and his brother, Andre Silva, being remembered at Wembley.<\/p>\n

The brothers were travelling back to the UK from Portugal when their car is believed to have suffered a tyre blowout which caused the vehicle to crash.<\/p>\n

It came with Jota advised not to fly having recently undergone surgery to correct damage from a collapsed lung.<\/p>\n

Accompanied by brother and fellow professional footballer Andre, Jota intended to drive from Portugal and through Spain to catch a ferry over to Portsmouth, before completing his journey back to Merseyside.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately that journey ended tragically in northern Spain, with Liverpool beginning the process of honouring their No. 20.<\/p>\n

\"LIVERPOOL,<\/p>\n

Former captain Jordan Henderson<\/a> was among those to lay flowers outside Anfield, while Jota\u2019s teammates past and present sent messages via social media.<\/p>\n

This Is Anfield attended the temporary memorial on 97 Avenue on Friday afternoon when Everton<\/a> players Beto \u2013 a Portuguese national \u2013 and Tim Iroegbunam joined club legend Ian Snodin in paying tribute.<\/p>\n

A funeral for Jota and his brother will take place in Portugal on Saturday morning, with it likely that his teammates will travel to Gondomar to pay their respects.<\/p>\n

Jota is survived by new wife Rute and their three children, along with his and Andre\u2019s parents, Joaquim and Isabel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liverpool are set to hold talks with the FA and Crystal Palace over a tribute to late striker…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":237645,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8815],"tags":[748,393,4884,179,763,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-237644","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-liverpool","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-liverpool","12":"tag-liverpool-fc","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114795499038583111","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/237644","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=237644"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/237644\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/237645"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=237644"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=237644"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=237644"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
