Chelsea to donate part of Club World Cup bonus to Jota, Silva’s family

Chelsea players and staff have agreed to donate part of their Club World Cup prize money to the family of late footballers Diogo Jota and André Silva.

The squad earned an £11.4m bonus share from the £87m winners’ prize and will contribute a portion to support the family, in a move jointly decided by the club and its players, reports SkySports.

Tributes to the two Portuguese players are expected during the Premier League’s opening weekend.

Recall Jota, a Liverpool winger, and his brother Silva, who played for Penafiel, died in a car crash in Spain on July 3.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot last week praised the football community’s response to the tragedy, describing the loss as deeply felt across the club and beyond.

Liverpool experiences heartache despite defeating Manchester City.

Since the beginning of the football season, Liverpool Football Club’s first team has suffered numerous serious injuries.

Due to the absence of some of its important players, the Merseyside team has had difficulty during the Premier League season. Diogo Jota, a midfielder for Portugal, is the most recent casualty for the Reds as the season progresses before the World Cup.

According to sources from Anfield, Jota will undergo a scan, although there are concerns that the Portugal international may have seriously hurt his right calf. They are clear signs that he won’t be competing for his nation in the World Cup in Qatar.

The team roster presently has seven injured players, including Luis Diaz, Navy Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Joel Matip, Ibrahima Konate, and Arthur Melo.
