Donegal’s Seamus Coleman has joined David Meyler and Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp in donating €5000 to the GoFundMe page set up to help Sean Cox.
Dublin born Cox is recovering from life-changing injuries sustained when he was attacked by rampaging ‘Roma Ultras’ ahead of Liverpool’s Champions League clash in April.
A screenshot of the generous gift was shared on Twitter with fans flocking to praise the ROI captain.

Italian Filippo Lombardi, 21, was found not guilty at Preston Crown Court of inflicting grievous bodily harm. Lombardi admitted a separate charge of violent disorder and was sentenced to three years in jail.
