Newcastle goalkeeper Karl Darlow reveals his 'awful fatigue' and FIVE KILO weight loss from COVID-19 have encouraged his team-mates to get jabbed

Newcastle United's Karl Darlow has urged his fellow players to go and get vaccinated after his recovery from Covid-19.

The goalkeeper had a serious bout of Coronavirus in July just four days before he was due to have his first vaccine and spent three days on a hospital drip, leaving him 'severely worried'.

Darlow's ordeal has managed to convince a couple of his team-mates to get vaccinated after he only just returned to full fitness following 'awful fatigue' and a five-kilos weight loss.
