The current Manchester City captain was hesitant to agree that it is now on players to try and enforce changes in the congested football calendar.
Kyle Walker says it is not up to him to rewrite the hectic football schedule, despite Pep Guardiola’s suggestion that players should speak up about the increasing workload.

"There is only one solution: if the players decide for themselves. “We've got used to it over a number of years, especially at club level playing every three to four days,” he said. “Your body adapts to it. It's not up to me to rewrite the rules on when football is and isn’t going to be played.
England boss Southgate hailed modern science for enabling footballers to play so often but said he was mindful of the impact the heavy calendar may have, saying: "We don't really have a winter break here. We fudge something.
