Rodgers reckons Friday Night Football in the Premiership would be a big help
Frustrated Brendan Rodgers reckons British broadcast deals have left clubs with an uphill battle in Europe.
“It gives them three full days to prepare for our game and the game at home. For us we'll probably not be home until after midnight from Perth. Then it's a very, very quick turnaround travel and then you're out playing the game. I think it's for most British teams. “In fairness in Germany there's more Friday night slots for their TV games which means they can request that which gives them the extra recovery. It may be in the future but it's been ongoing for years I've got to say. I've been in the Premier League and seen it there and seen it across many years. That at times takes priority over the wellbeing and the preparation for footballers.
“Hopefully it'll settle down quite quickly and we'll see where it's at for Tuesday. I think he'd gone through a lot and pushed him through a lot but it was not getting any better.
