The BBC schedule has been disrupted by a series of withdrawals from Thomas Tuchel's England squad, with five players including Cole Palmer, Declan Rice, Kobbie Mainoo, Marcus Rashford, and Tino Livramento pulling out due to injury or "load management". The Professional Footballers' Association chief executive Maheta Molango has criticized the congested match calendar, saying it is unsustainable and puts players at risk of burnout.
