Andy Robertson has shared an emotional letter from Diogo Jota’s widow as he prepares to lead Scotland at their World Cup return. Robertson and Jota were teammates and close friends at Liverpool before the Portuguese was killed in a car accident, aged just 28, last July.
When Scotland qualified for the World Cup for the first time in almost 30 years, Robertson revealed Jota had featured strongly in his thoughts. The pair had spoken regularly about shared World Cup aspirations. Now, as part of a feature on Fifa’s social media channels, Robertson has read out a letter from Jota’s widow, Rute Cardoso.
