#3 Lack of help from FA
Trending

Exacerbating the issues due to the traditional lack of winter break, Premier League fixture scheduling is heavily swayed based on the demands of television broadcasters, with the result that matches are being scheduled with less than 48 hours gap between them.

When youngsters are called up for senior international friendlies at the expense of major international youth level tournaments, it costs them the vital learning curve and tournament experience.
