I’m Terrified – Salah Breaks Silence Over Shocking Death Of Diogo Jota

Diogo Jota tragically passed away alongside his 26-year-old brother, Andre Silva, in a car accident while on their way to a jetty in Spain on the morning of Thursday, July 3.

Since the heartbreaking news broke, tributes have poured in from football fans around the globe. Earlier today, Mohamed Salah expressed his grief, admitting he was at a loss for words over the devastating incident.

Salah shared that he couldn’t imagine starting pre-season training at Liverpool without the presence of the 28-year-old Portuguese forward.

“I am truly lost for words,” Salah posted on . “Until yesterday, I never thought there could be anything that would make me dread returning to Liverpool after the break. Teammates come and go, but not like this. The thought of going back without Diogo is incredibly hard to process.

“My heart goes out to his wife, children, and especially his parents who lost both of their sons so suddenly. Those who were close to Diogo and Andre need all the support they can get. They will never be forgotten.”

Before the tragic loss, Liverpool players were scheduled to resume pre-season training today, July 4. However, due to Jota’s death, the club has postponed the resumption to next week in phases, according to the BBC.

The funeral for Jota and his brother is scheduled for Saturday, July 5, with a wake being held today at the Chapel of Resurrection in their hometown of Gondomar, Portugal.
