'Players will explode' - Busquets warns against burnout amid proposal to hold World Cup every two years

The Spain midfielder has warned that there are only so many competitions that players will be able to withstand

Sergio Busquets has warned against adding more competitions to an already-crowded calendar, saying there will come a point when players will "explode."

FIFA President Gianni Infantino has suggested he is in favour of a proposal to hold the World Cup every two years, an idea that's also been backed by ex-Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, who is currently FIFA's chief of global football development.

But Barcelona and Spain midfielder Busquets has said there are only so many competitions that players will be able to physically withstand.
