Liverpool announce that the Diogo Jota book of condolence will remain available to sign for another 48 hours following the Portuguese’s tragic death alongside his brother.<\/p>\n

Liverpool<\/strong><\/a> have announced that the Diogo Jota<\/strong><\/a> book of condolence will be available to sign for another 48 hours for any fans wishing to pay their respects.<\/p>\n

The Reds remain in mourning for the loss of their number 20 and his brother Andre Silva, who were killed in a car crash in Spain<\/strong><\/a> in the early hours of Thursday morning.<\/p>\n

Arne Slot<\/strong><\/a> and his squad attended the siblings’ funeral service in Gondomar on Saturday morning, where a private ceremony was held for friends and family while fans and the media gathered outside.<\/p>\n

Hours after Jota’s death was announced by the club, Liverpool opened physical and digital books of condolence<\/strong><\/a>, allowing supporters to express their sympathies at the premature and devastating passing of the Portugal duo.<\/p>\n

The Reds originally planned to close the physical book on Sunday, but they announced in a statement that the tribute would remain available to sign in the Anfield Road Stand reception area of Anfield for another 48 hours.<\/p>\n

Supporters can leave messages in the book between the hours of 9am and 8pm on Monday, July 7 and Tuesday, July 8, while the digital copy also remains available on the official Liverpool website.<\/p>\n

How else might Liverpool honour Jota?<\/p>\n

\"Liverpool's<\/p>\n

In a joint statement released on the day of Jota’s death, Liverpool confirmed that Jota’s number 20 shirt would be “immortalised”, and there have been calls to retire the jersey.<\/p>\n

Manchester City and Millwall both took shirts out of service following a player’s premature death; the Citizens retired the 23 after Marc-Vivien Foe’s passing in 2003, before Millwall did the same with their number 20 shirt following Matija Sarkic’s death last year.<\/p>\n

The idea of a permanent tribute at Anfield has been mooted, either in the way of banners and flags or even a statue commemorating the late 28-year-old.<\/p>\n

Portuguese giants Benfica erected a statue of Hungarian striker Miklos Feher in 2004 following his on-field cardiac arrest and subsequent death, alongside a glass case displaying his kit and medals.<\/p>\n

Prior to his fatal accident, Jota represented Liverpool on 182 occasions, scoring 65 goals and winning four major trophies during a five-year spell.<\/p>\n

The attacker also represented Atletico Madrid, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Porto, Pacos de Ferreira and Gondomar, while Silva played for Penafiel at the time of his death.<\/p>\n
