Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta does not think footballers should play three games in six days over the international break.
The Gunners will lose several players over next week's international break, and Arteta isn't happy.
Asked about the upcoming international break and the fact some nations will play three games in six days, the Arsenal boss said: "I think it's a bit too much in a normal year, so this year I think it becomes something really dangerous with the amount of minutes these boys have played in such a short time with no preparation.
"I don't think it's right but we're not going to change it. The decisions have been made and the games are going to be played, so it's just about how we protect our players in the best possible way.
"I always want to trust [the international federations].
"We will communicate with them and tell them the state of our players and try to maintain an open discussion to try to manage the load the best possible way and don't change too much the things they are used to doing."
