Players exhausted before season start

The article discusses the impact of the end of the 2026 World Cup on clubs and players. The tournament concluded on July 19, and the problem lies in the timing conflict between the tournament's end and the start of major European leagues in mid-August. This results in a short preparation period for participating players—less than a week before the season begins—raising the risk of injuries and affecting their physical and technical readiness. For example, the Spanish league starts approximately 27 days after the final, while other leagues begin a week later. Meanwhile, the German Football Association has decided to delay the start of its league until August 28, contrasting with the International Federation of Players (FIFPRO) recommendations, which stipulate a minimum rest period of 28 days after the season. Additionally, some stars like Lionel Messi and Rodrigo De Paul went into immediate rest after the World Cup, leaving their teams without key players for over a week. This situation increases the likelihood of injuries and hampers team cohesion during the initial matches of the season. Studies indicate that a quick return after the World Cup is often followed by a spike in injuries across European leagues, highlighting the need for better-organized rest and recovery periods to ensure player readiness and minimize harm to clubs.
