New Delhi: Diogo Jota's two sons will be part of the mascots when Liverpool host Wolverhampton Wanderers at Anfield in an English Premier League match on Saturday.
Jota played for both the English clubs before he dies in a car crash along with his younger brother in July in northwestern Spain.
Liverpool is yet to comment on the development first reported by The Times.
The Portuguese forward joined Wolves on loan from Atletico Madrid in 2017 and made the move permanent the following year before shifting to Liverpool on a five-year deal in 2020.
Aged 28 at the time of his death, Jota helped the Reds with the Premier League earlier this year and Saturday's match marks the first time that his Liverpool face Wolves since his departure.
In August, Jota's wife Rute Cardoso and their two sons, Dinis and Duarte, were present for the EPL home opening matches for both Liverpool and Wolves in August.
Kobbie Mainoo is yet to start an EPL match this season for Manchester United and has been linked with a loan move in the January transfer window but remains thee future of the clubs, manager Ruben Amorim insists.
The England midfielder has made 12 appearances this season, with only one start in the League Cup and is out of United's game against Newcastle United with a calf injury.
The 20-year-old will get his chance but has to be patient, Amorim said.
"Kobbie Mainoo will have the opportunity, he has all the time," Amorim said.
"He played in different positions, and we talk about the position of Casemiro, he can do that position. If you play with three (in midfield), he can play – like we played in the last game – the position of Mason Mount in this game, he can play there.
"So, in the future, he's going to be the future of Manchester United. That is my feeling. So you just need to wait for each chance and everything can change in football in two days."
