Elite schedule 'not sustainable' amid 55-game seasons

The Premier League may have just returned from a three-week break, but for many of its stars there was no rest at all. Of all the Premier League players called up by their countries, 25 played 360 minutes - the full length of four games - during the extended international break. These included 13 players who featured for their clubs at the World Cup, such as Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk, who also played 55 games for his club last season.
