Diego Costa, David De Gea and Kaka among star footballers donating signed shirts to raise money in aid of Chapecoense plane disaster

Chelsea striker Diego Costa and Manchester United's David De Gea are among the stars donating shirts to a charity auction for the victims of the Chapecoense disaster.

The Brazilian team were hit by tragedy when a plane crash saw 71 players and club members die in November 2016 on their way to a match in Colombia.

The team are now back playing - even winning the first match on their return 2-1 against Inter de Lages.
