Tottenham Hotspur defender Eric Dier has criticised the Premier League schedule as Spurs prepare to play twice a week in the build up to the World Cup in November, leaving Antonio Conte’s side with a relentless fixture list over the next two months.
Aside from a short interval at the end of this month with the international break, Spurs will have nine midweek fixtures to fulfil in the coming months, as they prepare to tackle 18 fixtures before mid-November.
And Dier, who is also on the verge of a call-up to the England squad for the first time in nearly two years, claimed that the Premier League ’s scheduling “doesn’t make sense”.
