'It becomes really dangerous' - Arsenal boss Arteta hits out at international fixtures

The Gunners manager is not happy with the way the FIFA calendar has been scheduled amid the ongoing pandemic

Mikel Arteta has hit out at the upcoming international break, labelling the scheduling as ‘really dangerous’.

The Arsenal boss is set to lose several players after Sunday’s game at West Ham, with nations such as Englnad squeezing in three World Cup qualifiers in just six days.

It’s a situation Arteta believes is far from acceptable, although he admits that there is little Arsenal or other clubs can do apart from hope their players return unscathed.
