The Liverpool players have successfully sourced a St Peter's,, Dunboyne GAA jersey and have hung it in the Anfield dressing room ahead of today's Premier League clash with Stoke City. As we reported earlier this week, the gesture was organised by the Liverpool players, led by captain Jordan Henderson as a show of solidarity with Sean and his family.
Sean remains in a critical condition in hospital having been assaulted by Roma fans outside Anfield ahead of Tuesday's Champions League semi-final with Roma.

In addition, Liverpool will send their best wishes to Sean and his family during the game, via the pitch side screens.

Ahead of the traditional pre-match rendition of You'll Never Walk Alone, Liverpool fans were asked to sing it for Sean and his family.
Yesterday, Jurgen Klopp paid tribute to Sean while wearing a tricolour-themed Liver Bird on his chest during his pre-match press conference.
I think the game on Tuesday night showed the beauty of the game, during the game... and the most ugly face of parts of the game, before the game. When I first heard about it, I cannot describe my emotions in English to be honest... it's how I feel still. That should never have happened, it should never happen before it should never happen in the future and we all have to do everything to make sure that things like that will not happen anymore.
It's unbelievable that something like this can happen. You can imagine our thoughts and prayers are with Sean at this moment and his family of course.
A GoFundMe page has been established to contribute to Sean's medical bills, and you can donate to it here.
