Premier League players and staff face compulsory vaccination against Covid-19 as part of a Government plan to keep sport going if there is a winter lockdown.




The Government announced earlier this week that fans would require a Covid pass showing their vaccination status to attend matches from October 1.

Now Sportsmail has learned that this guidance will also apply to players and other match-day personnel. Testing twice a week and Covid-secure red zones at stadiums and training grounds have kept the Premier League going almost without interruption since its resumption after the first lockdown in June 2020.
