At a training camp of the Dutch national team, some players had refused to be vaccinated. Matthijs De Ligt also turned out not to be in favor: “It is not mandatory. I think you should be in charge of your own body.”
“The risk of infection is always there. I try to get in touch with as few people as possible outside the Dutch national team,” said De Ligt at the time. “
The 21-year-old Juventus center-back has now returned to his steps and told social media on Saturday that he was fully planning to get vaccinated.
“In my last interview, I was not clear. To dispel any doubts, I am an absolute supporter of the COVID-19 vaccination and will get vaccinated as soon as possible,” he wrote on Twitter.
