Premier League to 'reward' clubs with highest numbers of vaccinated players

The English Premier League will reward football clubs with the highest number of vaccinated players, Report informs via the Daily Mail.

According to a briefing note sent to clubs last week, the Premier League are stepping up their efforts to ensure more players are fully vaccinated due to fears over a slow uptake.

The document read: “According to the data we have, only seven clubs’ squads are more than 50 per cent fully vaccinated, so we have a way to go.”

The note continued: “We are considering if and how best we can ‘reward’ those squads/players who are most Covid-compliant and who have opted to be vaccinated.”
