JAKARTA - The Premier League competition is urged to stop early ahead of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. This follows a storm of injuries experienced by the players in the competition.

Quoted from Metro, Friday, the Premier League competition still has two games left before the 2022 World Cup break which will take place on November 20. Based on that date, the last match of England's highest competition only has a distance one week before the world football party rolls on.

The England national team is one of the contestants affected by the storm of player injuries ahead of the 2022 World Cup. A number of players, Reece James, Ben Chilwell, Bukayo Saka, and Kyle Walker have to pull over.

Not only the England national team, a number of other national teams are also facing similar problems. The Portugal national team was confirmed without Diogo Jota, France without N'Golo Kante and Paul Pogba, South Korea was also threatened without Son Heung Min who had just gone up to the operating table.

Manchester United player Raphael Varane is also in doubt of being able to defend Les Bleus in the 2022 World Cup. The potential injury could also continue to grow near the day of the event.

Therefore, football observer Jamie O'Hara urged Premier League competition operators to eliminate week 16 for more rest time for the players.

"Cancel the final round (16th week) in the Premier League. Give them (players) a little room to breathe. The Premier League should do so, or the players should get injured again," O'Hara told talkSPORT.

"There are too many games and too many injuries. England will suffer," he stressed.
