- Four more weekend games added to earlier call-offs
- EFL reveals 25% of its players do not intend to have vaccine

As cases continued to spread across football – and postponements piled up in the EFL – Brentford’s Thomas Frank said this weekend’s fixtures should be suspended to “break the chains” of infection. Organisers, meanwhile, doubled down on emergency regulations and a new focus on changing the minds of vaccine-refusing players.
