Roma and former England defender Chris Smalling has reportedly now finally reached an agreement with his club to receive his coronavirus vaccinations, in order to comply with new Italian rules and be able to continue playing football.
The former Manchester United man had been subjected to intense social media speculation over whether he could be the unvaccinated player that coach Jose Mourinho is trying to convince to have his Covid jabs in order to save his career at the club.
According to Italian paper La Repubblica and FootballItalia, via Sky Sports, Smalling was just one of around only 10 players in Serie A not to have had a first jab, though he has now agreed to complete his doses.
