Liverpool FC fan Seán Cox remains in a critical condition after being assaulted while in the city for the first leg of the club’s Champions League semi-final against Roma on April 25th, his family has said. Mr Cox, a father-of-three, had gone to the match with his brother. In a statement published on Liverpool FC’s website, the Cox family said Seán’s medical situation had not changed since he was admitted to hospital with a bleed on the brain following the assault. They had been “overwhelmed and humbled by the support we have received since Seán was so badly hurt two weeks ago”. “In the meantime, we would ask that our privacy continues to be respected and when we have news we will share it at the appropriate time.
