England’s Nations League withdrawals expose workload crisis, says PFA chief
Professional Footballers' Association chief executive Maheta Molango says football's overloaded calendar is driving elite players beyond their limits.
Professional Footballers' Association chief Maheta Molango has expressed concern over the impact of the congested football calendar on elite players, citing England's withdrawal from the Nations League as a case in point. Five players, including Cole Palmer, Marcus Rashford, Declan Rice, Kobbie Mainoo and Tino Livramento, recently withdrew from England's squad.
Molango highlighted that Palmer's withdrawal is a symptom of a broader issue affecting top football talent, pointing out injuries to Kai Havertz, Brian Brobbey and Kylian Mbappe. Molango argued that the intense schedule is unsustainable, causing players to miss crucial opportunities, and called for governing bodies to prioritize player welfare over financial gains.
