Sean Cox's condition remains critical just over two months since he was brutally attacked by thugs in Liverpool.

The beloved father-of-three was airlifted to Beaumont Hospital last month and has been receiving round-the-clock care with his family keeping vigil by his bedside.

The 53-year-old hasn't shown any signs of deterioration with family and friends to remain hopeful he'll pull through, Dublin Live reports.

Liverpool fan Sean was attacked before a Champions League match against Roma outside Anfield in April.

A source told Dublin Live that Sean is getting "the right care" in the north Dublin hospital which specialises in head and brain injuries.

He said: "There's no update but he's still very much in the forefront of our thoughts.

"We're in touch with his family all the time but it's just a waiting game and that's it.

"He's in the right place and he's getting the right care and we're hoping and praying every day there's news but there's not unfortunately.

"People have been very good, they really have, they all have great intentions and please God in time there'll be some good news."

Support

Well-wishers from around the world have banded together to raise over €90,000 for Sean's medical costs with his family previously saying they were left "overwhelmed and humbled" by the support.

A statement previously released by Liverpool FC on behalf of his wife Martina and his children read: "There are no words to describe the gratitude we feel to the ordinary people of Liverpool and Ireland who have taken Sean to their hearts in a way that underlines why those places have such a deserved reputation for generosity and solidarity.

"Every day letters and cards arrive from this country, from Ireland and beyond. Every one of them wishes us well and the accompanying offers of support have reminded us, even in our darkest moments, that we are not walking alone."

Court

Last month, as Sean was being moved to Dublin, a Roma fan pleaded guilty to the sickening attack in a Liverpool court last week.

Thug Daniele Sciusco, 29, appeared via video link from prison where he admitted violent disorder following the Champions League semi-final on April 24.

Cox suffered serious head injuries including a severe bleed to the brain and underwent a major operation before being put into an induced coma.

Another man, Filippo Lombardi, 21 was also charged with inflicting grievous bodily harm but pleaded not guilty.
