Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk insists he doesn't need to rest.
He has started in 60 of the 61 Premier League games he has played in for Liverpool and it reflects in Van Dijk's determined attitude.
"I want to be involved in every game," he said. "They're the most fun part of being a football player anyway, to go out there and show your talents to the world, try to win a game with a team you train with day in, day out.
"It's not easy, you need to look after yourself and with the life we live, it's very important to leave a lot of things. For example, we play four games in the next 11 days, you're travelling and staying in hotels and you need to watch what you eat, drink and make sure you recover well.
"I'm not complaining, not at all, but you need to look after yourself because at the end of the day, the people are coming to the stadium to watch you play and it doesn't matter if you had a cold the day before, they want you to turn up on matchday.
"That's why it's very important to look after yourself and a big part of that is staying fit. Luckily, so far, I've been doing that pretty well and hopefully I can keep doing it."
