Liverpool legend Mohamed Salah has expressed his sympathy regarding the absence of teammate Diogo Jota, stating that it will be a difficult loss to bear.

The Portuguese international tragically lost his life in a road accident on Thursday, a shocking event that has reverberated throughout the football community.

A vigil is being held in Liverpool to honor the memory of Diogo Jota and his brother, Andre, who both died in a car crash in Spain.

“I am truly lost for words. Until yesterday, I never thought there would be something that would frighten me from going back to Liverpool after the break. Teammates come and go, but not like this. It’s going to be extremely difficult to accept that Diogo won’t be there when we go back.

My thoughts are with his wife, his children, and of course his parents, who suddenly lost their children. Those close to Diogo and his brother, Andre, need all the support they can get. They will never be forgotten.” The Egyptian skipper penned.
