Erik ten Hag has said that footballers cannot cope with the workload of an ever-greater schedule and he believes Manchester United\u2019s injury list is because players are overworked.<\/p>\n

The United manager complained that more games are added to the fixture list \u2013 with the Champions League set to expand next season and more teams to be involved in the Club World Cup from 2025.<\/p>\n

So far this season, 16 United players have already been injured or unwell and Ten Hag will be without five sidelined defenders for Saturday\u2019s game against Crystal Palace.<\/p>\n

Lisandro Martinez and Sergio Reguilon have joined Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia and Aaron Wan-Bissaka in missing this weekend\u2019s game, while Kobbie Mainoo and Amad Diallo are also out, though Scott McTominay and Christian Eriksen are back.<\/p>\n

Harry Maguire, Raphael Varane, Victor Lindelof, Mason Mount, Rasmus Hojlund, Sofyan Amrabat and Tom Heaton have also had issues with injuries or illness.<\/p>\n

Ten Hag, whose side played 62 games last season, said: \u201cWe already expanded the squad this season because we make the reason clear. We had a World Cup in the middle of the season, we had a longer season, we had to play a longer season as well, with the FA Cup, then Nations League games [and] a shorter break.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery time the schedule is expanding, the load on the players is too much, it\u2019s such a great overload. Many colleagues of mine have pointed to that and I have pointed to that as well. But it keeps going.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe keep expanding the schedule. Anywhere, it won\u2019t stop. Players can\u2019t deal anymore with this overload and I think that\u2019s what you say in this squad at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n
