Steven Gerrard has led the messages of support to Sir Kenny Dalglish after the Reds legend tested positive for coronavirus.
The 69-year-old Anfield icon was admitted to hospital on Wednesday for treatment on an infection that required intravenous antibiotics.
In line with current NHS procedures during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Scot underwent a test for coronavirus which came back positive.
Although he remains asymptomatic, Sir Kenny was instructed to stay in hospital by medical staff and his family released a statement asking for privacy as he attempts to fight off the illness.
Liverpool supporters and ex players - as well as many other public figures - have been sending messages of support to the much-loved Scot.
Former Reds skipper Gerrard, now manager of Glasgow Rangers, posted a picture to his Instagram page of Sir Kenny with one of his daughters, with the message: "Get well soon king"
Former Anfield team-mate Terry McDermott tweeted: "Thinking of my big pal @kennethdalglish - hoping he makes a speedy recovery from this awful Virus", while Stan Collymore, Don Hutchison and Ryan Babel were also quick to take to Twitter to send their best wishes.
Wirral South MP and Liverpool fan Alison McGovern said: "Get well very soon" while fellow Red and former British super-middleweight boxing champion also wished Sir Kenny well.
Fans Supporting Foodbanks posted a message saying: "We are saddened to hear about Kenny Dalglish's admission into Hospital earlier this week.
"Kenny has always been supportive of our initiative and Reds & Blues associated with the Foodbank wish him a full and speedy recovery."
The Dalglish family statement read: "Sir Kenny was admitted to hospital on Wednesday 8 April for treatment of an infection which required intravenous antibiotics.
"In keeping with current procedures, he was subsequently tested for COVID-19 despite having previously displayed no symptoms of the illness. Unexpectedly, the test result was positive but he remains asymptomatic.
"Prior to his admission to hospital, Sir Kenny had chosen to voluntarily self isolate for longer than the advised period together with his family.
"He would urge everyone to follow the relevant government and expert guidance in the days and weeks ahead.
"He would like to take this opportunity to thank the brilliant NHS staff, whose dedication, bravery and sacrifice should be the focus of the nation’s attention at this extraordinary time.
"He would also ask that they are given the space to do their jobs during what is an extremely challenging time for them and that his own family’s privacy is respected.
"He looks forward to being home soon. We will provide further updates as and when it is appropriate."
