The change could come into effect next season with FIFA's revamped 32-team Club World Cup set to take place in the summer of 2025, as well as a larger-scale World Cup the following year. The Premier League introduced the break - which this season will take the form of a structured two-week period in January - in 2018 in a bid to ease the workload on players, but chief executive Richard Masters admits it is under discussion as it could become unworkable.

"You obviously have the views of the players' union and the players being expressed very strongly now.
