All well and good, but then players will never get time to recuperate. They'll be playing (working) all year round.
A bit like us lesser mortals. Poor darlings.
Yeah, Poor darlings...
Here's the thing. How much shorter would the Premier league season be with out Internationals...?
In fact All League seasons worldwide..??
It would also give the National team more time to train together uninterrupted and give us football connoisseur more of a chance to see the football that matters instead of the namby pamby, second rate National football that they seem to subject us to every four or five weeks.
Edit:-Salah has a groin injury and Mane broke his thumb during training, so I don't think it's related to permissible challenges, think we're just generally unlucky with players on international duty. Lallana, Studge and Sterling all came back injured whilst away with England at in one season when the little sh*t was still playing for us if I remember correctly.
I'm much more annoyed that Salah was still playing in the last minute of Egypt's game whilst they were 4-1 up when he got taken off injured - was it really necessary to force him to play 90 minutes? International coaches have never given a flying f*** about clubs and it drives me insane. The least they can do is consider the poor lad's career a teeny bit for fook sake.
I'm more
Sorry mate just read this and had to add my two cents worth...Seems to me that it is the Internationals where we tend to pick up most of our injuries from, and that when we have players coming back from injuries, players that need to be eased back into things a International break comes along and that those player trot off to play for their Countries and guess what..? They get re-injured
It is about time that we (LFC) and other clubs start refusing to send players just coming back from injury on International duties. Their first loyalty should be Club, instead of send a player with the understanding they will only play ex-amount of minutes and that agreement gets broken...
