Former Chelsea defender John, took the opportunity to cheekily goad the presenter, who frequently shares his thoughts about the pandemic.
Taking to the micro-blogging site, the ex-captain commented: “@piersmorgan Shocking statement!” followed by a football emoji.
Catching wind of John’s tweet, Piers retweeted his message, as he hit back at the ex-pro.
Piers replied: “Why? Footballers get jabbed with stuff all the time, why are they being so pathetic about Covid vaccines when so much is at stake?
“The really shocking thing is that UK footballers are massively less vaccinated against Covid than their European counterparts. It’s insane.”
