When Liverpool's star forward player Diogo Jota needed to return to the UK, he faced an unusual challenge: doctors had advised against flying after his lung surgery. This meant a long drive was his only option.
Jota's journey back was a testament to his determination and the careful medical guidance that informed his recovery. Jota was due to report back for pre-season training next week for what would have been his sixth season at Liverpool. Instead, the football world mourns the loss of a player who, at just 28, had already achieved so much and had so much more to give.
