City Pro Striker Rodri Complains About Heavy Workload: Strike Remains Option

Rodri Complains Of Heavy Workload

Manchester City midfielder Rodri has complained about his heavy workload this season, saying that he is "at the limit" and that a strike is an option if the situation does not improve.

The Spain international has played in all but one of City's 28 games this season, starting 25 of them. He has also played in all six of Spain's Nations League matches.

Rodri says that he is feeling the effects of his heavy workload and that he needs a break.

Strike Remains Option

If City do not give Rodri a break, he says that he will consider going on strike.

"I'm at the limit," Rodri said. "I need a break. If I don't get one, I'll have to consider my options. A strike is one of those options."

City's Response

City have not yet responded to Rodri's comments. However, manager Pep Guardiola has previously said that he is aware of Rodri's workload and that he is managing it carefully.

"Rodri is a very important player for us," Guardiola said. "But I'm aware that he's played a lot of games this season. I'm managing his workload carefully and I'll make sure that he gets the rest he needs."

Conclusion

It remains to be seen whether Rodri will go on strike. However, his comments highlight the growing problem of player burnout in football.

With the demands of the modern game, players are playing more games than ever before. This is putting a strain on their bodies and minds, and it is leading to an increase in injuries and burnout.

It is important that clubs and managers take the issue of player burnout seriously. They need to ensure that players are getting the rest they need and that they are not being overworked.
