Premier League players may go on strike- Guardiola
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has raised the possibility of players going on strike over their welfare.
But Guardiola says he does not think it will happen.
Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson told BBC Sport earlier this week he was “concerned” that “nobody really takes player welfare seriously”.
Premier League clubs chose to fulfil festive fixtures at a meeting on Monday despite a rise in Covid-19 cases.
Guardiola says a strike may be the only way to get the authorities to listen.
“Should the players and the managers be all together and make a strike, or something, because just through words it’s not going to be solved?” Guardiola said.
However, the Spaniard does not see that happening.
“No, I don’t think so because we want to play. We want to continue – to make the people happy going to the stadium on the 26th, 27th, 29th, 31st and 1st, and play games, because we love to do that.
“I’m not saying there’s a reason to make a strike.”
