Diogo Jota was on his way to take a boat and return to Liverpool for pre-seasons training, when he died in a car accident, BBC Sport has been told.
Portugal further, who was 28 years old, did a minor surgery, so doctors advised him to fly.
As a result, he was planning to return to Liverpool for the beginning of the pre-season, as he begins on Monday.
It is understood that he was traveling by car from Porto to take a boat from Santnder in Northern Spain.
Jota and his brother, Andre Silva, crashed in the Spanish province of Zamora and died.
Guardia Civil has told the BBC Sport that both men died on Thursday at around 00:30 local time, which overtook another vehicle after a tire blowout.
Zamora, close to the Portuguese border, is about 190 miles from the porto, and the same distance from the port.
It is believed that Jota also traveled from the road and sea to go to Porto for his wedding.
