Injuries - 2023/24 | Ederson cleared to return to training (p 146)

There definitely only needs to be two international breaks, maybe September and November, but four just takes the piss. We managed quite easily back in the day accommodating international matches so why has it gone ridiculously wrong?
It's gone wrong because the ruling bodies put greed before club football and anyone or most of those who want to see top players appearing in these games is most likely a watcher of lower league football or has a couch season ticket. It's also amazing how the media complain about fixture congestion and early kick offs for bingo and his marathon sprinters, but say nothing about these utterly pointless games and how it affects clubs at the businesses and off the season. People are paying large amounts of money for season tickets but face the possibility of their investment being wasted and season being ruined for an international friendly. In short, the ordinary fan is being ripped off.
 
One of the most infuriating things about the injuries from the internationals is the uncertainty of it all.
Because the games were friendlies, players are told to come off if they feel the slightest twinge. A lot of the time, nobody knows if it’s something minor and every chance they will be back in action the following weekend or if it’s serious and potentially season ending. Chances are it’s something between the two extremes but the waiting for concrete information is what kills you.
