Rumors have surfaced about Premier League stars going on strike, but an inside source has dismissed these claims as “nonsense.” Manchester City midfielder Rodri recently made headlines by suggesting that players might strike in protest against the increasing number of games they are required to play each season. However, according to an anonymous source within a Premier League club, there is no real risk of such a strike happening.
Concerns over fixture congestion – which have been raised by top coaches in the media – seem to be growing. Some players are reportedly considering refusing international duty as a form of protest, while continuing to play for their clubs.
According to the Daily Mail, when asked if a player strike was a realistic possibility, a leading figure at a Premier League club strongly rejected the idea, stating, “Absolutely not. I’ve never heard such nonsense.” When questioned further, an inside source revealed the primary reason: “Money.”
This weekend, Manchester City faces a tough test against Arsenal, and Rodri is expected to play a key role in Pep Guardiola’s midfield once again.
What’s Next?
City’s upcoming match against Arsenal could prove to be one of the most challenging fixtures of the season, with Rodri set to be at the heart of the action.
