Premier League: Restrictions could be curbed for clubs with high vaccination rates

The Premier League is considering whether to "reward" clubs whose coronavirus vaccination rates are high.

There have been concerns about the rate of vaccination among players with some contracting Covid-19.

The Premier League said: "We are considering if and how best we can 'reward' those squads/players who are most Covid-compliant."

Newcastle goalkeeper Karl Darlow was hospitalised in July and Chelsea's N'Golo Kante tested positive this week.

"Only seven clubs' squads are more than 50% fully vaccinated, so we have a way to go," the Premier League continued in an email sent to the top flight clubs last week.
