Kane Warns of Burnout Amid Scheduling Concerns

England captain Harry Kane has expressed concerns about player burnout due to dense football scheduling, stating that players are not adequately listened to regarding fixture congestion. Kane, who plays for Bayern Munich, faces an intense schedule with the Premier League, Champions League, and an expanded FIFA Club World Cup, potentially leaving him without a substantial break until 2027. He is among several high-profile players, including Liverpool's Alisson Becker and Manchester City's Manuel Akanji, who have voiced similar concerns. The Professional Footballers' Association has even taken legal action against FIFA over the 'overloaded and unworkable' football calendar. England manager Thomas Tuchel shares these concerns, highlighting the difficult balance between club obligations and international commitments, particularly with upcoming World Cup qualifiers. Despite the pressures, Kane remains committed to playing, although he emphasizes the need for better management of player welfare.
