Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has once again reiterated his stance regarding players getting vaccinated against COVID-19.
Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool has been outspoken about wanting every player and member of staff vaccinated.
Tuchel has taken a different stance, despite being fully vaccinated himself, suggesting that players are free to choose what they want to do.
"I mean you can have an opinion, I can have an opinion but a player can also have an opinion," Tuchel told the media before Chelsea's Carabao Cup clash against Brentford on Wednesday.
"Then there can be regulations around this, like when you arrive at work your employer can create an environment where you are not allowed to be in the building if you are not vaccinated. This can happen so you have to adapt to it and you have to live with the consequences.
"But we cannot force people to get vaccinated and I will not change my opinion on that. I am not the guy to comment on that, I am not the expert here. There are experts in this country, all over the rest of Europe. Ask them and ask me please about football.
"I will not get involved. I am vaccinated. I made the decision for me and that's it.
"You know that it's causing an issue. But it's not that we have all unvaccinated infected. We have vaccinated players who are positive.
"I don't want to get involved in pointing fingers and starting the hunt for non-vaccinated people. This is a choice to make. Leave it there."
