Gladbach coach Hütter against compulsory vaccination in professional football

Coach Adi Hütter from Bundesliga club Borussia Mönchengladbach does not believe in compulsory vaccinations in professional football.

“We have to be careful there. Of course, we footballers serve as role models, but it’s also about being able to make decisions,” said Hütter in an interview with the West German newspaper and added: “Of course I see the situation in the hospitals, but we should allow everyone to have freedom of choice.”

However, the Austrian also referred to “the consequences that may exist in the future with 2G”. Unvaccinated footballers are “not everything against vaccination per se, but people who wait for experience”.
