EPL: Details for funeral of Diogo Jota confirmed
The funeral ceremony for the late Liverpool forward, Diogo Jota and his brother, Andre Silva, will be conducted at 10am in Gondomar on Saturday.
A local priest, Father Jose Manuel Macedo, had initially announced that it would take place at 4pm on Friday.
Father Macedo eventually made a U-turn and said the event had been put back to Saturday morning.
The UK Mirror reports that the delay is due to minor paperwork issues, which have to be sorted out before the player’s family can repatriate the bodies.
A wake-keep would hold at the Sao Cosme Chapel, before the funeral mass on Saturday morning at the Igreja Matriz de Gondomar – the Catholic church next door.
The 28-year-old tragically lost his life in car accident in the early hours of Friday, as he travelled in Spain with Andre Silva.
