Cox had to undergo treatment for 18 months in the Republic of Ireland after the attack. He was then moved to a specialist neurological facility in Sheffield for a 12-week rehabilitation programme, which specifically focused on developing his speech and movement. Peter Moore, Liverpool's chief executive, took to Twitter to inform the supporters of the club that Cox would be present for the Premier League game against Manchester City.

Jurgen Klopp stated to a section of media that Sean's story has touched all of them, and although initially, the emotions were one of sadness that his life has been so affected purely by coming to support the football team he loves, he now has new feelings when he hears his name mentioned.
