The Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) has issued a statement in response to Rodri's suggestion regarding potential player strikes as a result of an overcrowded game schedule.
Manchester City midfielder Rodri could find himself at the forefront of a player campaign this week. AdvertisementAdvertisementRodri stated that players were frustrated at their being so many games all year.
The PFA stated: “In recent weeks, our members have made their feelings very clear when it comes to the fixture calendar and player workload.
"Players and their unions have asked to be listened to and to be a central part of these processes. When they are ignored then the natural consequence is that players will begin to consider all options available to them."
They added that Rodri’s comments should be a “serious wakeup call” to the governing bodies.
