It’s the news that everyone has been hoping to hear

Liverpool supporter Sean Cox has reportedly regained consciousness after three months in an induced coma.

According to a report by Electric.ie, Cox – who works for Precision Cables – has made a major step in his recovery and is undergoing dedicated rehabilitation.

The father-of-three had been in hospital since he was brutally attacked by two AS Roma supporters prior to Liverpool’s Champions League semi-final first leg with the Italians on April 24.

It was revealed shortly after the attack that doctors at Walton Neurological Centre in Liverpool had attempted to revive him from a medically induced coma which he was placed in shortly after undergoing surgery.

He was later transferred to the Beaumont Hospital in Dublin.

As the Meath man has fought and fought during such a horrific personal battle, the thoughts and prayers of every associated with Liverpool Football Club had been going out to him and his family. From players to fans and coaching staff, the club went above and beyond to show that Sean Cox was very much at the forefront of their minds.

Just a few weeks ago, Liverpool released a statement to offer their continued support.

“Continuing to think of Sean,” it read.

“With this weekends’ Champions League football final between Liverpool FC and Real Madrid C.F, we continue to think of our club colleague and avid Liverpool supporter, Sean Cox, as he continues on his road to recovery.

“To show our solidarity with Sean and acknowledge Liverpool FC for their continued support, both club flags will fly alongside each other today at our club grounds.

“We want to wish Liverpool FC the very best of luck and we will ensure Sean’s support is well represented in Dunboyne tonight.

“YNWA Sean”
