Liverpool star Andy Robertson blasts "unacceptable" FIFA over run of fixtures

Andy Robertson has taken aim at FIFA's fixture scheduling as he lamented the "unacceptable" amount of games being played in June.

The Scotland star, who has picked up over 50 international caps, has been left less than impressed with his country's workload. Four UEFA Nations League games will take place in June whilst Steve Clarke and his side need to find a slot in the calendar to play Ukraine in their World Cup qualifier.

If they win that game then a final qualifier against Wales will also have to be scheduled - all of which could take place in June. That furthers demands on players, with the summer break already shortened as a result of the first ever winter World Cup, which begins on November 21.
