Kevin de Bruyne accuses FIFA and UEFA of only caring about money after adding more matches to the schedule.
In June next year, FIFA will rebrand the Club World Cup as a 32-team tournament.
The number of matches has increased in the last year, especially with an international break almost every month.
According to De Bruyne, football's governing bodies prioritize money over the health of players.
According to Goal, De Bruyne said the real problem will emerge after the Club World Cup.
It will only be three weeks until the first Premier League match after the Club World Cup final.
It may be OK this year, but next year could be problematic. So, we have three weeks to rest and prepare for another 80 matches.
The Professional Footballers' Association in England and other player associations have tried to find solutions. UEFA and FIFA keep adding extra matches, and we can raise concerns, but no solutions have been found.
Money seems to speak louder than players."
