Correction: No Tribute to Jota In Brighton Number

Brighton midfielder James Milner will wear the number 20 shirt for the upcoming Premier League season, but contrary to earlier reports, it is not related to any tribute to Diogo Jota, who is alive. Initial accounts of Jota's death in a car crash alongside his brother Andre Silva were erroneous. Liverpool has not retired the number 20 jersey for any such reason. Milner took the number after Carlos Baleba vacated it, and he recently extended his contract with Brighton for another season. Milner continues to near the Premier League appearance record held by Gareth Barry. The earlier tribute narrative was based on false information.
