Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp hoping to meet Sean Cox at Anfield on Sunday

Sean Cox returns to Anfield this weekend for the first time since his brutal assault, and Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp hopes to meet the Irishman there.

The brave dad-of-three and his family will be guests of the club, 18 months after he was attacked by Roma supporters before the clubs' Champions League semi-final first-leg meeting in April 2018.

And Klopp shared his delight at the news, revealing he hopes see Mr Cox on the day of the game if possible.

“It’s great. I hope I can see him but I’m not sure if it’s possible,” he said.

“It’s just wonderful. It’s been a tough 18-months for the family, for himself and his friends.

“Now coming back (to Anfield) and that he wants to be back, that’s really nice.

“I’m sure our supporters will make it a really special occasion for him and if I have the opportunity around the game, I would really like to see him."
