A Liverpool player has anonymously donated £25,000 to Alder Hey children’s hospital amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Hospitals across the country have felt the pressure of increased admissions due to the outbreak of Covid-19, and Alder Hey has tripled the capacity of its intensive care unit as a result of the crisis.
A spokesperson for the hospital took to Twitter to thank the unnamed Liverpool player for their contribution.
Alder Hey are requesting donations to help deal with the influx of patients.
A statement on the hospital’s website reads: “Alder Hey has tripled its intensive care capacity to support more of the region’s most seriously ill children, as well as its ability to provide intensive care support for young adults when needed.
