Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has admitted that the club will not sign any players in the January transfer window who are unvaccinated against COVID-19.
This is amidst high spate of football players unwilling to get vaccinated from the dreaded Covid-19 virus as a survey of EFL players has found that 25% have no intention to have a COVID-19 vaccine.
“We are not close to signing a player but, yes, it would be influential, definitely,” Klopp said, via the Mirror, when asked whether vaccination status will have an impact on January recruitment.
“If a player is not vaccinated at all, he is a constant threat for all of us. He doesn’t want to be a threat, of course, it is not that he thinks, ‘Oh my God, I don’t care about the others,’ but he is and we have to find different scenarios.”
Klopp went on to explain that isolation protocols dictate that any unvaccinated player could cause additional problems.
