PEP’S VISIT IS A BOOST FOR VOLUNTEERS

PEP GUARDIOLA amazed people at the vaccination centre next to the Etihad Stadium when he strolled in recently and asked for his booster jab. The visit was unplanned and unscheduled. Staff were thrilled — and happy to oblige.

The tennis centre at the complex has been operating as a vaccination hub since January. City held their breath earlier last week when Guardiola returned an ‘inconclusive’ test which forced him to cancel a press conference but a subsequent negative test saw him back at the training ground.
