Jurgen Klopp: Liverpool manager says vaccine is 'not a limit on freedom'

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says he does not understand why some people refuse the coronavirus vaccine.

There have been concerns about the rate of vaccination in the Premier League with fewer than half of players jabbed at most clubs.

Klopp says "99%" of his players have been vaccinated and he has not had to convince anyone to have it.

The German says he was jabbed to protect not just himself but "all the people around me".

"I don't understand why that is a limitation of freedom," he said. "Because if it is then not being allowed to drink and drive is a limitation of freedom as well - but we accept that.
