Chelsea Supports Neto After Jota’s Death

News summary

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has confirmed that Pedro Neto has been granted compassionate leave and will decide whether to play in the Club World Cup quarter-final against Palmeiras after the tragic deaths of his close friend and Portugal teammate Diogo Jota and Jota's brother in a car accident. Neto, Chelsea’s top scorer in the tournament, has missed recent training, and the team has emphasized support for his well-being over football priorities. Teammates, including Marc Cucurella, have rallied around Neto, while the club held a minute’s silence in training and paid tributes to Jota. Chelsea also face squad difficulties, with Romeo Lavia a fitness doubt, Moises Caicedo suspended, and new signing Joao Pedro potentially making his debut. The tragedy has deeply affected the club and the football community. Jota is remembered as a beloved teammate, survived by his wife and three children.
