The Premier League has finally released its latest vaccination rates among players, with 16 per cent of top-flight stars still yet to take any dose of Covid vaccine.
A host of teams across England’s top division have been hit by Covid outbreaks, resulting in 10 games being postponed in recent weeks as club’s battle to reduce transmission in the dressing room.
On Monday, the Premier League announced that a ‘festive firebreak’ would not be imposed to help combat the spread of the Omicron variant, with officials continuing to monitor the situation closely.
And in an official statement, the top-flight confirmed that 84 per cent of players are 'on the vaccination journey' - meaning they have had at least one dose of the vaccine.
