Liverpool defender Kostas Tsimikas has revealed a new tattoo in honour of his late team-mate Diogo Jota, who died in a car crash earlier this month.
The footballer and his brother, Andre Silva, died when their car crashed in the early hours in northern Spain on July 3.
A series of tributes have been paid in the weeks since, including Liverpool’s decision to retire Jota’s No 20 at all levels, following consultation with his widow and his family.
Tsimikas has made his own personal tribute, with the Liverpool defender having a new tattoo on his left hand.
The tattoo reads ‘Wish you were here’, with the message accompanied by Jota’s No 20.
An image of Tsimikas’ new tattoo has emerge online, but it had also been visible when the Greek defender played in Liverpool’s pre-season match against Preston.
The match at Deepdale took place on July 13, just 10 days on from Jota’s tragic death.
A minute’s silence was held prior to kick-off, while club anthem ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ was sung.
Preston’s club captain Benjamin Whiteman carried a wreath which he placed in front of the away end and players from both teams wore black armbands, while digital tributes were shown on screens around the ground.
