Wolves paid an emotional tribute to their former player Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva ahead of their pre-season friendly against Celta Vigo at Molineux on Saturday.
Jota and his brother passed away in a car crash in Spain on July 3.
Wolves were playing at Molineux for the first time since the brothers passed away, with a minute’s silence being held ahead of the game. Floral wreaths were also laid on the pitch.
Jota initially joined Wolves on loan in 2017 before signing permanently the following year. He was part of the Wolves squad that won the Championship title in the 2017-18 campaign and went on to feature for the club in the Premier League prior to joining Liverpool.
During his time at Wolves Jota made 131 appearances, while he scored 44 goals and provided 19 assists.
Wolves are planning further tributes ahead of their opening game of the Premier League season at home to Manchester City next weekend.
