Republic of Ireland international Callum Robinson has admitted he has chosen not to be vaccinated against Covid-19 despite being twice laid low by the virus and is the first high-profile footballer to admit he has not got the jab.
The 26-year-old West Brom striker, who had already missed games for his country as a close contact, first tested positive in November last year and then again in August, meaning he had to sit out last month's World Cup qualifiers.
But just days after Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp expressed his exasperation with Premier League players who have not been double-jabbed Robinson - who is on £27,000 a week with his club - has spoken of his decision not to do so.
