Liverpool fan Sean Cox has finally returned home almost two years after suffering life-changing injuries in an attack by a Roma supporter outside Anfield.
Cox's wife Martina says he has made another "important step" in his recovery since the incident on April 24, 2018, which left him in a coma for almost three months.
The Irishman had recently been receiving treatment at a Dublin hospital after initially spending time at the Walton Centre in Liverpool and other medical institutions in England and Ireland, according to the Liverpool Echo.
A post on the Support Sean Cox Facebook page on Friday, which included a picture of him holding a glass with his family, confirmed that "for the first time in almost two years, the Cox family are finally reunited under one roof as Sean makes a long-awaited and welcome return to his home in Dunboyne".
His wife Martina is quoted as saying: "This is a day we as a family have been looking forward to for a long time. While Sean still has a long road to travel, having him home with us is an incredibly important step as we come together as a family unit again.
"I can't thank enough those who have helped Sean along the way over the past two years. Without a doubt this support has made today possible.
"In particular, I would like to thank the incredible staff in Marymount Care Centre in Lucan for the care and support they have provided to Sean over the past number of months."
