Klopp says 99 per cent of Liverpool players are vaccinated against Covid-19

As concerns over take-up in the Premier League emerge, the Reds boss gave an impassioned speech explaining why he is fully in favour of the jab

Jurgen Klopp has revealed that “99 per cent” of Liverpool’s players are vaccinated against Covid-19 and explained why he himself is in favour of the jab.

In an impassioned speech ahead of the Reds’ Premier League clash with Manchester City, Klopp discussed the current issues surrounding vaccination in football, but insisted he had not needed to convince any of his players to take it.

It emerged this week that only seven Premier League clubs have squads where more than 50% of players are double-jabbed, with reports suggesting the league could now offer ‘rewards’ to clubs who lead the way in terms of ‘Covid-compliance’.
