Liverpool and France defender Ibrahim Konate expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that players are not listened to when discussing the increase in the number of matches and, accordingly, the workload on players.
"This topic should not be neglected. Liverpool don't talk about it, but I've heard that some clubs would prefer to keep their players during the international break. Footballers are employees of the club, even though the national teams are important too. We have to stay fit all season, but it's quite difficult. If this continues, of course, the players may rebel. And I think we'll all stand shoulder to shoulder," the British online publication Liverpool Echo quoted Konate as saying.
