Hertha BSC players will now have to pay for the mandatory PCR tests that they have to do, reports BILD. The club is therefore the first in the Bundesliga to no longer take care of the corona tests. A PCR test in Germany costs 70 euros, which means that players spend a total of more than 1600 euros per month.

All Bundesliga clubs are required to have their unvaccinated footballers tested at least twice a week, but Hertha even has its unvaccinated players tested six times a week. Fredi Bobic, technical director of the old lady, let the newspaper know that ninety percent of the selection has been vaccinated. “And that without any form of coercion, but through conviction.”

Hertha, the current number fourteen in the Bundesliga, includes the Dutchmen Jurgen Ekkelenkamp, ​​Deyovaisio Zeefuik and Javairô Dilrosun under contract.
