Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp said players not vaccinated against Covid-19 pose a health risk and it was unlikely the Merseyside club would sign players who refuse the vaccine.
Covid-19 outbreaks at various clubs have forced the postponement of 10 games so far, including six from this weekend's round of fixtures. “We are not close to signing a player but I thought about it and yes, it will be influential, definitely,” said Klopp, who was previously undecided on whether vaccination status would influence Liverpool's transfer policy.
“If a player is not vaccinated at all, he is a constant threat for all of us ... From an organisational point of view, it gets really messy. If you really want to follow the protocols, it is really difficult to do it. If one gets Covid-19, and others are around him, they are in isolation ... So of course it will be influential. We are not going to create a building for unvaccinated players. Hopefully it will not be necessary.
