Karpin: 70 percent of the players in the Russian national team were vaccinated against coronavirus 
About 70 percent of the players of the Russian national football team were vaccinated against coronavirus. The head coach of the team, Valery Karpin, told about this, whose words are quoted by “Championship.com”.
The specialist called those who refused the procedure anti-vaccination. “Someone does not want, someone is afraid. So it is the same as the population. I am in favor of being vaccinated. But forcing someone is not my question, “Karpin added.
Earlier on Tuesday, November 9, Karpin spoke about the injuries of Spartak defender Georgy Dzhikia and Lokomotiv midfielder Rifat Zhemaletdinov. The coach did not disclose the details of the injuries, but added that the players did not take part in the training, as it was decided not to risk their health.
On November 11, the Russian national team will meet with Cyprus at home, and in three days will play on the road with Croatia. The matches will be the final matches of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers.
