Virgil van Dijk was furious as Wembleyâs air of solemnity was broken on Sunday as a small group of Crystal Palace supporters disrupted a minuteâs silence for Liverpool forward Diogo Jota and his brother, Andre Silva, ahead of the Community Shield. The two brothers tragically lost their lives in a car accident in Spain last month, and both sets of players had gathered at the centre circle to honour their memory.
Virgil van Dijk has admitted it has been a "surreal" time for Liverpoolâs players following the tragic death of Diogo Jota, but says the squad is united in their desire to honour their late team-mateâs legacy. Jota and his brother were killed in a car accident while returning to pre-season training last month in an incident that brought the footballing world together in mourning.
Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has suggested the clubâs summer business may not be over, sparking further speculation about a possible move for Newcastleâs Alexander Isak. The Reds, who have already spent close to ÂŁ300 million in this transfer window, appear determined to strengthen their squad even further before the new season kicks off.
