Personally I wish people would stop whinging constantly about our players playing international football.
Players have every right to play for their country and shouldn’t feel any pressure not to. And clubs should absolutely not have any say on whether or not particular players play for their national team.
There is an argument that international friendlies should not be happening, but that’s with the organisations and governing bodies, not the individual players.
If our squad is that weak that we can’t deal with players being injured that’s on the club, nobody else. You sign players like Richarlison knowing they’re ambitious and want to play international as well as club football. You can’t have your cake and eat it.
Imagine telling a Brazil international to say no to helping his country qualify for the Copa America so he could be fit and ready to face Fulham.
