The Sean Cox Rehabilitation Trust was set-up to help fund Mr Cox’s treatment

“She said he does [know hes going]… she said he does, and hes excited he keeps smiling, and he cant wait.”There is a chance Mr Cox may have to miss the match, however, should his condition worsen between now and Friday.“It has taken a lot of planning,” Mr Felle added. “He is obviously medically dependent, and in terms of the logistics of getting him to there and making sure hes properly cared for when in the stadium have taken some work.“The caveat is if Sean got an infection or a cold or something happens between now and Friday, we might have to change the plan.3
