Premier League: Liverpool will not sign unvaccinated players, says Jurgen Klopp

The league said in October that 68% of its players were double-jabbed but on Monday announced a record 42 cases in a week.

Liverpool manager Jurgen 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.

Aston Villa boss Steven Gerrard and his Crystal Palace counterpart Patrick Vieira both said that vaccine status might be a consideration when signing new players as cases continue to rise in the Premier League.
