Aston Villa star John McGinn makes headlines as Doctor reveals ‘recipe for disaster’
Aston Villa star John McGinn is absolutely right to express his views on the busy footballing calendar, according to Dr Rajpal Brar.
The injury expert believes that year-round football is a recipe for disaster as it impacts not just the players’ physical health but also their mental states.

Speaking about this situation, Dr Brar, a doctor in physical therapy and a sports scientist, told Villa News: “McGinn is right to speak about these issues as they’re clearly impacting players.
“I completely agree with him and all the other players speaking on workload.
“Year-round football is a recipe for disaster when it comes to player injuries, fitness and health.“
Aston Villa star John McGinn is spot on for raising these issues
It’s good to see McGinn speaking out for player welfare and it’s important for fans to be aware of the challenges they face.
Often, supporters tend to bat an eyelid when it comes to players speaking up about these issues and then bring up the wages they’re on.
Hopefully, the authorities make a change to protect professional athletes and also enhance the quality of football on display.
