Southgate is seeking the support of clubs in the “special” season ahead of the World Cup.

England coach Gareth Southgate said many clubs will bend over backwards to offer fitness updates next year and alleviate injuries concerns due to the short time before Qatar’s mid-season World Cup.

The Premier League has announced that its 2022-23 season will be paused on the weekend of 12-13 November, and national teams will only be given a week to work with players working on England’s top flight before the World Cup starts on 21 November.

National teams usually have two to three weeks before an end-of-season tournament, such as the World Cup, to prepare their teams, but the November-December tournament brings a new problem.

‘Tight use’

“The most important thing is to have a break at the end of the season. Next season is special, ”Southgat told reporters.

“It’s unknown what will happen with the tight turn after the last few league games. Sometimes when you get injured before the summer tournaments, you can have a few weeks to get things right. This will be impossible in any country that qualifies, so everyone will have to choose their team in a very short period of time. It will be crucial to make those decisions right.

“I think we are definitely hoping to get the support of the clubs from a medical point of view, because from a medical point of view you can’t always get the whole picture until the players are with us. And since the turn is very tight, we will need a little more information. ”

England have almost qualified for the World Cup and will only need one point on Monday to secure their first place in the group against San Marino.
