Jamie Carragher backs goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois over 'an increasingly unsustainable football calendar' - and tells Arsene Wenger to 'listen' to current players as he continues to push for a biannual World Cup

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher feels players are being made to suffer an 'an unreasonable and increasingly unsustainable football calendar' - but he is not convinced Arsene Wenger's biannual World Cup plan is the answer to the problem.

Wenger has been seeking the support of many top former players and Carragher is among those to have spoken to the ex-Arsenal manager about his plan to freshen up international football.

While Wenger was 'preaching to a converted audience' in Carragher in suggesting radical change, the pair disagreed over holding more World Cups and Carragher wants to see the Frenchman liaise with current players on his vision.
