Jay Spearing was rushed into hospital on Christmas Eve, with the Liverpool coach revealing that his body was threatening to ‘shut down’.
The veteran midfielder sealed an emotional return to his former club in the summer after he agreed to a combined coaching and playing role in the side’s youth ranks. But having made two appearances for the Reds’ U21 side this term alongside his Under-18 coaching duties, Spearing was involved in an extremely scary incident over the festive period.
The 34-year-old wrote on Instagram : “My First Christmas off in 17 years was a little different than I expected. After blood tests with the club, on Xmas eve I was told I needed to attend hospital urgently before my body starting shutting down.
