Premier League stars told ‘f***ing play to get paid’, as Valencia’s Gabriel Paulista indicates he won’t play without Covid-19 vaccine

Pressure builds on Premier League players: ‘F***ing play to get paid’ A team of reporters from The Athletic have pool resources to reveal how Premier League footballers are being pressured into returning to work during the Covid-19 crisis. No players are outed by name. And that’s understandable considering the sensitive topics at hand. Representatives from the 20 Premier League clubs are due to meet on Friday to discuss the viability of restarting the 2019-20 season, a plan known as ‘Project Restart’. However, what’s made apparent by The Athletic is that many footballers have legitimate concerns about going back to their day job. Readers are told: Although many players are said to be “raring to go”, several top-flight players have registered concerns over the possibility of quarantining away from family for several months, particularly in the case of players whose wives are pregnant or who have elderly and vulnerable relatives that require their support. ▪️ Some stars say return

For fans it’s different, because the North London derby is massive, but as players I think it’s Chelsea. Chelsea completed a league double against Tottenham in 2019-20.

Doctors say that Kanika Kapoor can’t donate plasma yet, here’s why

Kanika Kapoor testing positive for Coronavirus was one of the biggest news this year. The pandemic has resulted in a nationwide lockdown and the internet was furious with the ‘Baby Doll’ singer for not following the protocol of self-quarantine after she returned from London.

During her time in the hospital, she got herself tested four times to finally test negative for the fifth time. Now, Kanika Kapor is back home with her parents in Lucknow and had given her blood to test if she was fit for the plasma therapy to help out other COVID-19 patients.

Even though the samples are fit to donation, the doctor have decided to wait for a few days so that Kanika’s hemoglobin quantity is back on track. Also Read: Kanika Kapoor
