Liverpool player, Diogo Jota, has died in a car crash, according to the Spanish news agency EFE.
The Portuguese winger, aged 28, was involved in the accident in Zamora, Spain.
Jota had reportedly been travelling in a car with his brother Andre, who is also a 26-year-old footballer, when the vehicle went off-road.
The tragic news comes just two weeks after Jota married his long-term girlfriend Rute Cardoso in Porto. The couple has three children.
Jota, born in 1996, was a key figure for both Liverpool FC and the Portuguese national team.
Jota was widely regarded for his tenacity, goal-scoring instinct, and versatility on the pitch.
