Liverpool FC squad make annual Christmas visit to Alder Hey

The Liverpool FC men’s squad made their annual Christmas visit to Alder Hey Children’s Hospital on Monday.

As is tradition each December, Reds players and staff spent time around Alder Hey to spread a little festive cheer.

Arne Slot and his team met patients and their families, as well as the staff, posed for photographs and shared LFC goodies.

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk said:

“This place is full of heroes, in my opinion, helping so many kids through very tough times. Not only the kids, also the parents,”

“It’s great for us to be here. It’s tough to hear certain stories, but we know what it could bring if we are here and visiting the kids. I’m really happy to be here.”

Curtis Jones said:

“I love coming here with the lads and putting a smile on the kids’ faces and the staff and the families.

“At the end of it, I hope the kids come away feeling more like themselves and the families get a real boost. And it’s nice to see the staff with how hard they work, giving them a bit of help as well.”
