Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta joins Pep Guardiola in slamming football chiefs for risking the health of players with congested fixture schedule... as the Gunners had to face Wolves just four days after Ba

Daily Mail  

Mikel Arteta warned the football authorities that the welfare of his players is in danger as Arsenal overcame Wolves to return back to the top of the Premier League. ‘You cannot have a team that hasn’t played for seven days, or three days before, and has more recovery time and then you have to play in the Premier League and the FA Cup. ‘Let’s protect the players and do everything we can to give them the maximum time to help them recover and perform and do the show that they do every week.’ For the first time in their league history, Arsenal have kept six consecutive clean sheets away from home. I thought the boys did that really well today.’ Man City boss Guardiola hit out at the 66-hour gap between Wednesday’s Champions League exit at the hands of Real Madrid and the FA Cup semi-final against Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea, which City won 1-0.
