Jurgen Klopp has again spoken out and encouraged everyone to get their Covid-19 vaccines as the Omicron variant continues to spread.
Following on from a number of midweek postponements after coronavirus outbreaks at several Premier League sides, half of this weekend's fixtures have already been cancelled.
Liverpool's match with Newcastle United went ahead on Thursday night despite Virgil van Dijk, Fabinho and Curtis Jones all testing positive for the virus.

And while whether the Premier League can continue as scheduled over the festive period remains uncertain, Klopp has reiterated his belief that everyone has a moral obligation to get vaccinated to protect others, even though he think it's right that it shouldn't be made legally mandatory.
"It’s a question of persuading. I think mandatory, from a moral point of view it should be mandatory for each person I think, but not from a legal point of view," he told reporters.
"I don’t see that but from a moral point of view because if I can do something that helps the people around me, that’s for me mandatory. Obviously people see that differently.

"I am 54 years old and I really am a big believer in that you can convince people about the right things to do, but I’m not sure in this specific case.
"England is in a much better place vaccination rate wise than Germany is for example. It’s unbelievable how aggressive the anti-vaxxer scene is and how clear they are in that they obviously know better than the rest of us.
"It’s really tricky, really tricky. But no, I don’t think it should be mandatory legally, but morally, yes."
