Top players call for winter break
-
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. -

Eriksson: Big fan of winter break
Eriksson remains adamant that a short shutdown is necessary after the third round of the FA Cup in January.
"It would be good for the national team when they go to big tournaments and good for clubs in Europe," the former England boss told Radio Five Live.
"I have been fighting for this for many years. There is too much football and not enough breaks.
"We are the only country in Europe without a mid-season break. After the FA Cup in January we should have one.
"It is important to give players one week off and one week to prepare for the next game.
"You have time to heal small injuries when you have one week off and can recover much better.
"If you take one week off every one will benefit. I think it will happen." -
