Dad-of-three Cox suffered severe head injuries following an attack prior to Liverpools Champions League semi-final clash with Roma. He remains in hospital at Walton Neurological Centre in Liverpool.
Cox, from Dunboyne in Meath, sustained a severe bleed on his brain and underwent a major operation before he was put into an induced coma.
Italian nationals Filippo Lombardi and Daniele Sciusco were charged with violent disorder after the Champions League semi-final between the clubs on Tuesday, 24 April.
