With Marquinhos the latest to join a long list of absentees including Ousmane Dembe\u0301le\u0301, De\u0301sire\u0301 Doue\u0301, Bradley Barcola, Joa\u0303o Neves, Fabian Ruiz, Vitinha and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, FIFPRO\u2019s latest report confirms what many feared: overloaded calendars are pushing players to breaking point. <\/b><\/p>\n<p>After PSG\u2019s marathon 2024\/2025 season ended with the Club World Cup final against Chelsea on July 13, the squad returned to training on August 6 and faced Tottenham in the European Super Cup just a week later. That left no real preseason, a key factor behind the physical setbacks now piling up.<\/p>\n<p><b>Fixture overload under the microscope<\/b><\/p>\n<p>FIFPRO\u2019s report highlights systemic failings. The players\u2019 union insists on a minimum 28 days of rest after a season and a proper four-week preseason, but PSG, Real Madrid, Chelsea and Manchester City all fell short. PSG had only seven preseason days, Chelsea 13, Madrid and City 19.<\/p>\n<p>Rest and preparation times continue to shrink while fixture demands grow. The toll is clear: Arda Gu\u0308ler played 80 games last season, Luka Modric 79, Joa\u0303o Neves 76, and both Federico Valverde and Fabian Ruiz reached 73. Union president Sergio Marchi warned that football\u2019s future depends on restoring balance and respecting recovery windows.<\/p>\n<p><b>Young stars carry the heaviest burden<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The dangers are not limited to veterans. Lamine Yamal, hailed as the brightest young talent in world football, has already clocked 8,158 minutes before turning 18, nearly double his peers. Jude Bellingham follows with 6,216 minutes, still a staggering load for a teenager. FIFPRO warns that overexposing developing players carries long-term risks to their health and careers.<\/p>\n<p>Added to that are extreme heat conditions \u2014 like those seen in the U.S., host of the 2026 World Cup \u2014 and punishing travel schedules, such as Moise\u0301s Caicedo\u2019s 25,000 km journey for just four matches. The report makes one thing clear: unless football authorities act, both stars and rising talents face a future of burnout and shortened careers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Lesotho<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Lesotho.
