'What our survey results highlight is that these 'on-pitch' concerns - like injury and performance - can and do affect footballers' mental health,' said Dr. Michael Bennett.
Dr. Bennett emphasized the importance of understanding the person behind the player, as many footballers feel they have little control over their futures.
Pep Guardiola noted that any changes in scheduling must be player-led, echoing concerns over fixture congestion raised by players like Rodri.
