Liverpool FC pay tribute to Everton stadium worker

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp and his team have laid flowers in tribute to a worker who was fatally injured at Everton's new stadium.

Michael Jones died on Monday after working at the venue, which is under construction near the River Mersey.

The 26-year-old was a "lifelong blue who was so happy to be working on the new stadium", his family said.

The LFC tribute comes a day after Everton manager Sean Dyche laid flowers at the site.

Michael Jones will be "missed beyond words", his family said

Stadium contractor Laing O'Rourke said they were "shocked and saddened" by the death of Mr Jones, who had been carrying out work for a sub-contractor.
