Liverpool and Portugal star Diogo Jota died in a car crash in Spain on Thursday
Curtis Jones, Alexis Mac Allister, Conor Bradley, Federico Chiesa and Wataru Endo were also among the group alongside ex-players Jordan Henderson, James Milner and Caoimhin Kelleher.
A joint-funeral for Jota, 28, and his brother Andre Silva, 25, will be held at 10am the Igreja Matriz de Gondomar church after the devastating crash on Thursday.
It comes as the world of football is mourning the footballer's loss after he died in a Lamborghini crash.
Manchester United's Diogo Dalot - Jota's international teammate - was seen attending the Capela da Ressureicao in Gondomar on Friday.
Manchester City captain Bernardo Silva and fellow Portuguese star also came to pay his respects with his wife.
Rute Cardoso - who married the Liverpool ace just 11 days earlier - arrived at Sao Cosme Chapel in his home town of Gondomar near Porto, northern Portugal, early on Friday morning.
Rute, the 28-year-old mum of the striker's three young children, returned with her partner’s body after his death in Spain alongside his footballer brother Andre Silva, 25.
Gondomar townsfolk gathered on Thursday, sporting football shirts and carrying floral tributes as a shrine grew at a nearby sports club.
Jota, 28, along with brother Andre, died when his hired acid green £210,000 Lamborghini supercar suffered a suspected tyre blowout and crashed in a fireball on the A52 highway in Zamora province, northern Spain.
The brothers were killed instantly in the horror en route to the Spanish port city of Santander to catch a ferry to the UK after the Portugal star was urged not to travel by plane following lung surgery.
Their distraught mother Isabel and their grandfather were also spotted at the chapel on Friday morning.
Tearful family members were seen hugging each other before walking together towards the chapel.
The chapel opened its doors to the public at 4pm and a 200 metre queue of locals paying their respects to the brothers quickly built up.
A line of sombre locals queued patiently in bright sunshine and were expected to be joined by players and famous pals of the pair during the even
A funeral ceremony will take place next door at the Igreja Matriz de Gondomar at 10am on Saturday.
It is unclear whether today's proceedings will be open to the public.
The sad homecoming came less than 24 hours after the deaths - in keeping with Portuguese tradition to hold wakes and funerals promptly.
Tributes have been flooding in since the horrific news, including from Jota's Portugal teammate Cristiano Ronaldo, former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp and current Reds boss Arne Slot.
