Vincent Kompany has put forward a bold idea to address the problem of injuries in football. He suggests setting a maximum limit on the number of games a player can play in a season.
Many top-flight managers are frustrated with the growing number of games in the schedule, as they have lots of injured players in their teams.
Kompany, who faced his fair share of muscle problems during his time as Manchester City's captain, thinks that putting a cap on the number of appearances a player can make in a season could help tackle this issue.
Quoted by the Daily Mail, Burnley's coach said: "For the players at the top, who have to play for their national teams and all of these other competitions, it should be capped appearances within a season."
"Put a number on it. It's not for me to put a number on it, (but) 60 or 65 games. They (still) have to work hard, don't get me wrong, but 60 games takes a little bit away. It would put the pressure more on coaches and national teams to come to a common-sense calendar."
