On Tuesday, PFA chief Maheta Molango attended the FIFPro summit in London, where he discussed the impact of a congested fixture schedule on players.
Maheta Molango said: "Five players have withdrawn from the England squad, and being selected for England is the proudest moment for any player. You have to ask yourself, what is wrong with this industry?"
"A player like Palmer could play four consecutive summers if he went to the World Cup. You'd wonder why he was absent. He was absent because of scheduling issues, and that absolutely needs to be taken seriously."
"English players love playing for England, but unfortunately, your body has limits on your performance. You can't defy biological laws. Is this the football we want?"
"Are the players who inspire our dreams unable to perform at their best? This concerns me greatly. What we've seen over the past few years is a sick, unhealthy system because it ultimately revolves around gaining votes and consolidating power."

I would have done the same thing if I was in Palmer’s shoes 💯 What’s the point of representing my country in Friendly matches if I can’t do so in World Cup 🤷🏼♂️👀

When the player should be given his best career moments, one angry Coach called Tuchel...who hasn't let go of his Chelsea pain of untimely exit, omitted Palmer. Now you want Palmer to play qualifying matches or say upgraded friendly called Nations League. The guy thought it wise to keep himself out to remain in shape and full fitness for the Club who cherished him more and always
Can't blame him. He knows where he is appreciated.
