Liverpool said on their website that after consultation with the player's wife Rute and family, the squad number would not be used at any level including the women's team and academy. "I believe this is the first time in Liverpool Football Club's history that such an honour has been bestowed upon an individual," said Michael Edwards, CEO of football for owners Fenway Sports Group. "Therefore, we can say this is a unique tribute to a uniquely wonderful person. By retiring this squad number, we are making it eternal -- and therefore never to be forgotten. "Diogo joined us in 2020, he won us (title) number 20, and he wore -- with honour, distinction and affection -- the number 20. As far as Liverpool Football Club is concerned, he will be forever our number 20." Jota, 28, and his brother Andre Silva, who played for Penafiel in the Portuguese second division, died in the crash in northwestern Spain on July 3.

Bright made the announcement in an Instagram post on Wednesday, on the eve of England's Euro 2025 squad selection. "My pride and ego tells me to go but I think the team and the fans deserve more," she wrote. "Right now I'm not able to give 100% mentally or physically." The 31-year-old had withdrawn from England's recent camp for two Nations League games saying she was mentally and physically at her limit. Her withdrawal ahead of the Euros in Switzerland, where England will defend their 2022 title, is a big blow to Sarina Wiegman's squad after veteran goalkeeper Mary Earps announced her international retirement recently.
