Chelsea players and staff have pledged to donate a portion of their Club World Cup prize money to the families of the late footballers Diogo Jota and André Silva.
The team received an £11.4 million share from the £87 million winners’ prize and collectively decided, along with the club, to contribute part of it to support the bereaved families, according to SkySports.
Tributes to the two Portuguese players are expected during the Premier League’s opening weekend.
Jota, a Liverpool winger, and his brother Silva, who played for Penafiel, tragically died in a car accident in Spain on July 3. Liverpool manager Arne Slot recently praised the football community for its support, noting the profound impact of their loss.
