Lukaku suggests NBA-style rest for footballers

Romelu Lukaku has made a statement regarding the physical workload of footballers in recent times.

İdman.biz reports that the Belgian forward has proposed the NBA option as a way out of the situation.

"I think the NBA system should also be developed in football. There are also many games there. Footballers run close to 15 km in each match, and this intensity is very tiring physically. Therefore, more rest is needed. As in the NBA, everyone should be given 6 weeks of mandatory rest at the end of the season. Then, 4 weeks should be allocated for preparation for the games. FIFPro protects the interests of the players, but I really don't know anyone who asks the players' opinions about it," Lukaku said in an interview.

It should be noted that footballers have been facing serious injuries due to physical overload in recent times. They have shown solidarity in this regard and want to raise their voices of protest.
