I don't recognise anyone at all other than Trippier on the bench.Lol Geordies
If they really want to protect players they should do what thy do in the NFL and limit the number of matches a player can play and limit the number of practice sessions, reps within those practice sessions etc.This annoys me so much.
Most of the teams in the Premier league and the league itself are pushing for nonsense like removing cup replays and games over 2 legs to reduce fixture congestion and improve player well being, yet flying half way round the world a couple of days after the season finishes to play a pointless friendly is perfectly ok.
corporately driven financial BS
