Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has expressed his deep sorrow following the sudden and tragic passing of his teammate, Diogo Jota.

In an emotional message posted on social media, Salah shared his heartbreak and disbelief, admitting he is “truly lost for words” after the shocking news that has rocked the football world.

“Until yesterday, I never thought there would be something that would frighten me of going back to Liverpool after the break,” Salah wrote. “Teammates come and go, but not like this. It’s going to be extremely difficult to accept that Diogo won’t be there when we go back.”

The Egyptian forward, known for his leadership and humility, extended his deepest condolences to Jota’s family, including his wife, children, and grieving parents.

“My thoughts are with his wife, his children, and of course his parents who suddenly lost their children. Those close to Diogo and his brother Andre need all the support they can get. They will never be forgotten.”

The Liverpool dressing room is said to be devastated by the loss, as Jota was not only a key player on the pitch but a respected and beloved figure off it.

Jota became a fans favorite with his work ethic, energy, and knack for scoring important goals. His partnership with Salah and others in the front line helped the Reds through some of their most competitive seasons in recent years.

Liverpool Football Club has yet to release an official statement, but tributes have already started pouring in from across the football community, honoring Jota’s legacy and the impact he made during his time at Anfield.

As the football world mourns this tragic loss, Salah’s words reflect the depth of pain felt not just by teammates, but by everyone who admired Diogo Jota for the person he was—on and off the pitch.
