Jamie Carragher has told European clubs to boycott Gianni Infantino's plans for a 32-team Club World Cup, insisting players need time to rest.
FIFA president Infantino announced FIFA's plans on Friday, with Mirror Football understanding Premier League clubs were unhappy with the development after being blindsided. The Italian pushed ahead with the plans despite reservations from the European Club Association, who represent 220 of Europe's leading sides.
The proposed tournament, which the FIFA chief said would be similar to the World Cup, is due to be held in 2025. No venue has been confirmed, though there had been reports of the United States hosting, a year before the country serves as one of three hosts for the 2026 World Cup.
