Rigobert Song no longer in a coma

Rigobert Song

Rigobert Song is reportedly no longer in a coma and is breathing unassisted following a stroke.

The former Liverpool defender remains in a serious condition and looks set to be transferred from Cameroon to France for more specialised care as he continues to fight for his life.

A number of former Reds including Patrick Berger, Jamie Carragher, Stan Collymore and Robbie Fowler posted messages of sympathy following yesterday’s awful news while Liverpool tweeted a message of support from the club’s official account on Monday morning.
