Liverpool Fan Sean Cox to Return to Anfield for First Time Since Vicious Attack

Liverpool fan Sean Cox will make his first return to Anfield for the Reds' upcoming clash with Manchester City since being left in a coma by an attack on him by Roma fans.

Cox was seriously injured after an unprovoked attack by a small group of Roma supporters outside the ground, leaving the Irishman in a coma after being struck on the head in the build up to the Champions League semifinal in April 2018.

Since the assault, the 53-year-old has undergone 18 months of intensive rehabilitation and therapy, and has been based in Sheffield since September.
