Bernardo Silva has slammed the football schedule after learning Manchester City will be forced to play two games in three days.
City already had three games in eight days when they return from international duty, including their most difficult Champions League match against Inter Milan followed by their biggest Premier League rivals Arsenal.
For reasons beyond their control, they must now face Watford in the Carabao Cup 49 hours after they walk off the pitch against the Gunners.
With a trip to Newcastle at lunchtime the following Saturday, a Wednesday fixture in the League Cup was the only day that would allow adequate rest for the players.
