Manchester City midfielder Rodri says players are "close" to taking strike action.

A recent report said a player welfare 'red line' was a maximum of between 50 and 60 matches per season.

But is strike action likely? Is it even possible? BBC Sport has taken a look at some of the legalities behind it all.

PFA chief executive Maheta Molango : "We want to give priority to our domestic competitions" Joe Hart : "If the players feel that we need to take further action - then I think we will" Southampton boss Russell Martin : "It's relentless and they don't really have much of a life outside of football, so I suggest it's probably not very healthy".

"Well try working in a shop or school or a prison or hospital or the police. Just some of the jobs that get abused every day both physical and verbal. Now they complain about the number of games they have to play. Isn't that why teams have huge squads?" - Published11 August 2023 .
