How clubs deal with Covid and Gerrard’s flying start at Villa - a podcast by BBC Radio 5 live

With half of this weekend’s Premier League fixtures called off because of COVID we speak to Dr. Matthew Ogunsanya, who worked at Watford when the pandemic first hit and was instrumental in Project Restart. He explains why some players have been hesitant to get vaccinated and why he thinks the pro-vaccine message should come from football staff rather than just medical staff at clubs.
Plus, Fletch speaks exclusively to Steve Gerrard on his start to life at Aston Villa, the connection he’s already made with the supporters and the incredible potential of the young players he now has at his disposal.
And finally, Premier League winner Andy King joins the pod to have his say on his old club Leicester’s difficult season and whether speculation around Brendan Rodgers’ future may have played a part.
