Rome, 25 Dec. (LaPresse) – "Reflecting on everything that has happened in the last 12 months brings up a wave of emotions, but it's normal at this time of year to look back on everything that has happened. This leads me to think in particular of Diogo Jota's family, as they face their first Christmas without him. It's not for me to tell them where to find comfort – if possible – but I can only hope that the love and affection Diogo still inspires will bring them some solace." Liverpool manager Arne Slot wrote this in a message posted on the Liverpool website. ‘The sense of loss will be particularly strong on Saturday, of course, as it will be the first time Diogo's two English teams have met since his tragic passing. Like us, Wolves have clearly been deeply affected by the loss of such a special player and person, so my thoughts continue to be with them,’ Slot added.
