Our reporter says it’s a similar scene in Jota’s hometown of Gondomar, near Porto, where a wake is due to be held later
Jota and his brother André Silva both died after the car they were travelling in crashed in the province of Zamora – officials say their tyre blew out while overtaking another car
The brothers had been travelling from Porto to Santander to catch a ferry to England so Jota could begin pre-season training – he recently had minor surgery and was told to avoid flying
The 28-year-old married his long-term partner Rute Cardoso, with whom he had three children, 11 days before the crash
