Mauricio Pochettino Slams 'Dangerous' Schedule, UEFA Nations League

Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino believes the busy schedule players have to deal with is "dangerous" and the situation has been worsened by the introduction of the UEFA Nations League.

Pochettino is concerned about the toll that so many matches have on players and their risk of injury, a concern he feels the powers that be in football do not share.

Per Dan Kilpatrick of the Evening Standard, he said: "It's dangerous. I've told you before that it's so difficult [for the players]. Football is massive business and it's not easy. The football business today does not care about the players—it's all about games, games, games.
