Top Players Voice Strike Concerns Over Match Load

News summary

Top football players, including Manchester City's Rodri, Barcelona's Jules Kounde, and Real Madrid's Dani Carvajal, are voicing their concerns over an increasingly congested match schedule, with talks of a potential strike growing louder. Rodri and others argue the expanded fixtures in competitions like the UEFA Champions League and the new Club World Cup are pushing players to unsustainable limits, risking their health and performance. Players are increasingly calling out the lack of consultation from governing bodies like UEFA and FIFA regarding these changes. The Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) suggests that any strike might target international competitions rather than domestic leagues. LaLiga president Javier Tebas supports the idea of a strike if it addresses the broader issues of fixture congestion and player welfare. With the possibility of playing up to 80 matches a season, players emphasize the need for rest to maintain the quality of the sport.
