Arsenal faces AFC Bournemouth in a Premier League match on Saturday, September 30, 2023 (9/30/23) at Vitality Stadium in Bournemouth, England.
MANCHESTER, England — Less is more. That is the message coming from within soccer at a time when demand for the sport has never been higher.
On Thursday, Vincent Kompany, the former Manchester City captain and now manager of Premier League Burnley, offered a potential solution to the issue. Raphael Varane, who was injured on the eve of the tournament but recovered to help France advance to the final, waited eight days after that match to play again for his club Manchester United.
“As a player I feel very privileged to do the job I love every day but I feel these changes are damaging our game,” he added. “We want to be at our maximum level, the best we can be and put on amazing performances for fans to celebrate every week.”It is not likely to get any easier for overworked players.
A report this year by FIFPRO, the world players’ union, analyzed the impact of what it described as “extreme calendar congestion” last season.FIFPRO said the congestion “posed a pressing danger to the physical and mental health of players.”
