Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva has voiced his concerns over the congested fixture list, describing it as “completely crazy.” Silva highlighted the demanding schedule, noting that the team has been informed they will only have one day off before their English League Cup match.
Silva, 29, expressed his frustration, stating, “We’ll probably play every three days for months. It’s been absolutely absurd.” The Portuguese international emphasised the challenges faced by players, particularly in the Champions League, where failing to qualify can add further strain to an already packed calendar.
The comments from Silva underscore the growing concerns among players about the physical and mental toll of an increasingly demanding football schedule.
