The
Chelsea manager, unlike Jürgen Klopp, does not want to lay down the law on players getting protected
The latest update about the number of
Premier League players who are vaccinated against Covid-19 shows that English
Football is crying out for strong leadership when it comes to getting jabs in arms.
The figures are infuriating. On Monday it was revealed that 16% of top-flight players remain unvaccinated. The vaccination journey has crawled along and even now, with Omicron forcing a raft of fixture postponements, some players are still refusing to do their civic duty. The willingness to digest misinformation about the vaccine on
Social Media remains a problem, although perhaps there will be a shift in attitudes if different rules are brought in for the unvaccinated.
