No salary for unvaccinated Hertha players in quarantine

Hertha Berlin are not paying players who are unvaccinated against coronavirus and end up in quarantine, their sporting director said on Tuesday. Media reports have said fellow Bundesliga side, Bayern Munich, have also implemented the same policy amid a debate over Joshua Kimmich not being jabbed.

Fredi Bobic was quoted as saying by the B.Z. and Bild newspapers that they have already decided that from Nov. 2, unvaccinated players would not get their salary for time spent in quarantine.

Hertha have already been affected several times by coronavirus cases, but reports say all or almost all players are now jabbed. At the beginning of October, Hertha said unvaccinated players would have to pay for PCR tests themselves.
