ROONEY CALLS ON EPL TO RETHINK FESTIVE SCHEDULE

Rooney calls on EPL to rethink festive schedule

 Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney
has called on the Premier League to rethink the
hectic festive schedule, or risk seeing players
succumb to serious injury.
The English top-flight campaign remains the only
major European league to play throughout the
Christmas period, while this past weekend saw all
20 teams having played two games in the space
of as many days.
The clubs will once again all be in action on
January 1, and Rooney, who started for the Red
Devils both on Friday and Sunday, feels
consideration for player fitness needs to be taken
into account when planning the fixture list.
"It is not easy playing two games in two days and
you do lose a lot of the quality from both teams,"
Football411 quotes Rooney as saying.
"It is difficult. We started so well in the first half
but in the second half it was tough and hopefully
in the future it has to change.
"It will probably take someone getting a really bad
injury from doing it (playing twice in two days),
which no one wants to see, but it is very
demanding and I think it does need looking at.
"With the weather as well, with the fans coming
from London or travelling from Manchester, it has
been tough. It is a lot of money to spend over
Christmas as well. But it is what it is, we have to
deal with that and have to try and perform well."
