Tottenham defender Eric Dier has questioned the Premier League fixture schedule ahead of a gruelling run of games before the World Cup.
Having played just once a week for the first month of the campaign, Spurs now enter a period where they have games every midweek - except for an international break in late September - until the season stops for the World Cup in November.
Spurs are challenging on three fronts, with Premier League games, the Champions League starting next week and a Carabao Cup tie in November.
