Senior Premier League players have demanded a winter break in a survey conducted by BBC Sport.
The players' union representative at each Premier League club was contacted - and 13 of the 15 who responded called for a mid-season break.
Everton and England defender Phil Neville told BBC Sport: "It will get the players fresh and revitalised.
"Then England might go into a European Championship or World Cup fresher and with a better chance of winning."
England and Portugal are the only major leagues in Europe without a mid-season break.
