Wolves will pay tribute to Diogo Jota and Andre Silva at Molineux during their final pre-season game and Premier League opener.
Jota died aged 28 in a car crash in Spain on July 3 alongside his brother, Silva.
The 49-cap Portugal forward began his English football career with Wolves, making 131 appearances for the club between 2017 and 2020 and scoring 44 goals.
Wolves announced on Thursday that a minute’s silence will be held before Saturday’s pre-season friendly against Celta Vigo and floral wreaths will be laid prior to kick-off.
After a fundraising drive by fan club Old Gold Pack, a moving tifo will be on display in the South Bank on August 16 when they play Manchester City in the Premier League.
A minute of applause will be given once players reach the field, and Sting’s “Fields of Gold” will be played prior to kickoff. Fan mosaics will also be on show.
Work on further permanent memorials at Molineux is still proceeding, according to Wolves, who revealed last month that Jota had been enshrined into their hall of fame.
