A Liverpool fan was killed in a road accident in Italy ahead of Tuesday’s Champions League clash with AC Milan, the Premier League club said.
“We are deeply saddened by the tragic passing of our supporter Philip Dooley, following a road traffic accident in Bergamo in the early hours of this (Tuesday) morning,” said Liverpool in a statement.
Liverpool did not say how old Dooley was when he died, nor give details of the accident.

Liverpool face Milan at the San Siro on Tuesday night in the Reds’ first match in the revamped Champions League.
