Overview

  • The Premier League will observe a minute’s silence at every opening-weekend fixture in memory of Diogo Jota and his brother, Andre Silva.
  • Players across all clubs will wear black armbands and clubs will be supplied with official memorial messages and images for stadium screens.
  • Last Sunday’s Community Shield at Wembley saw Football Association chair Debbie Hewitt, Liverpool legend Ian Rush and Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish lay wreaths as supporters observed a period of silence.
  • Liverpool retired Jota’s No. 20 shirt last month and has announced plans for permanent memorials and legacy programmes created from fan tributes.
  • The Guardia Civil’s forensic inquiry into tyre fragments and vehicle speed data remains ongoing ahead of a full expert report on the collision.
