Recently, Arsenal goalkeeper Raya spoke to the media about the issue of too many matches.
Raya stated, “The Club World Cup is coming up next summer, and for all participating teams, the schedule is very tight. Although Arsenal will not be participating in the Club World Cup, the risk of injury for players is still very high.”
We have talked about this issue many times, and my view is that associations like the PFA need to get involved. If we can work with them (the associations), we will get as much help as possible, but I know it won’t happen overnight.”
Players are human beings, not robots, and everyone needs to understand that life can change due to injuries.”
