Former Premier League striker Stan Collymore has reacted to Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk's concerns that modern players 'play too much'.
Stan Collymore has reacted to Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk’s concerns over player welfare by suggesting “a limit on the number of club and international games a player can take part in”., Van Dijk said: “In England, we believe that the calendars are too demanding. The players are paid well, but this should never be to the detriment of our health.
“No,” the defender responded. The journalist replied: “And for the better of your health?” “Then yes,” was Van Dijk’s answer.striker Collymore has suggested some ways to protect players, he told Lord Ping: “If we can go back to a world where players are given eight weeks where they don’t have to play, that would help.“FIFA should consider enforcing a limit on the number of club and international games a player can take part in over the course of a year.
Collymore added: “Clubs should give their players a complete break in June and July, with the exception of major international tournaments. That would mean that clubs wouldn’t participate in lucrative pre-season tours around the world and focus on training camps closer to home. Collymore continued: “Liverpool will challenge for the title this season. The big question at the start of the season was on Liverpool’s midfield. I look at the additions of Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai, complimented with the options they already have there in Curtis Jones, Harvey Elliot and Trent Alexander-Arnold, who can play that hybrid role, and like what I see.
