The Hindu  

Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuettl said the number of unvaccinated players was too high after the English Football League revealed 25% of footballers from its 72 clubs do not intend to get the COVID-19 vaccine. The Premier League is reeling from coronavirus enforced postponements, while Championship, League One and League Two matches have also been called off amid a surge in cases.

Southampton, 15th in the Premier League on 17 points, will take on fifth-placed West Ham United on Dec. 26.
