Diogo Jota's decision not to fly back to the UK led to a fatal car accident

A doctor had advised Portuguese football star Diogo Jota to opt for a ferry journey from Spain to the UK instead of flying there due to potential risks to his lung injury. Tragically, Diogo and his brother Andre were involved in a fatal car accident while driving their Lamborghini to the ferry in Spain's Zamora region. Diogo Jota, who had recently married and become a father to three children, had undergone a minor lung surgery following a rib injury from a previous game, which had caused him to miss the final months of Liverpool's title-winning season. He was set to resume pre-season training with Liverpool the following week. The decision not to fly was to prevent any complications with his lung injury. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp and captain Virgil Van Dyke expressed their sorrow and disbelief over the tragic incident. Liverpool head coach Arne Slot also shared his condolences and support for the Jota family during this difficult time.
