“I really lost my words. The teammates come and go, but not in this way. It will be particularly difficult to accept that Diogo will not be there when we return.
My thoughts are heading to my wife, children and parents who have lost their children suddenly. Those close to Diogo and his brother Andre need as much help as possible. They will never be forgotten, “said Mohamed Salah in a post on social networks.
