"Leicester City" on Wednesday advanced to the semi-finals of the "Carabao" Cup after an 11-meter penalty shootout, and on Saturday evening they will compete against "Manchester City" in the "Premier" League.
On the second day of Christmas, the "Foxes" face another serious test - a match against the leaders of the "Premier" League, the footballers of "Liverpool". Just a couple of days later, "Leicester" will meet with "West Ham United".
The "Foxes" strategist Brendan Rodgers did not hide his frustration with the "Premier" League schedule before the match against "Man City" and stated that Jamie Vardy, who has been playing almost non-stop throughout the season, will not be able to play in all the festive period matches.
"There is no chance that Vardy will play in all these matches. We cannot risk the players' physical condition.
On December 26, we face very tough matches with "Liverpool", where we need a result. The second day after football matches is usually the hardest for players, but instead of rest, we will have a match with "West Ham United".
To be frank, this is nonsense. Some clubs will have a bit more time for rest. Of course, a deeper squad helps during this period.
During this time, we not only need to protect the players from injuries but also fight for victories.
In football nowadays, everything is done for money, and the players' health is not really a priority for many", - said B. Rodgers.
