Wigan boss Martinez unhappy with international programme

Wigan Athletic boss Roberto Martinez is keen for changes to international week.

Martinez believes the international break needs to be revisited in order to get the right balance between international and club fixtures otherwise the Premier League will suffer.

"I don't like the international break, I've said it many, many times," Martinez said.

"This is another example. We've got 48 hours to go to one of the biggest games of our league competition and we don't even know what kind of squad we can count on. That's for ourselves, that's for Manchester United.

"As a whole, I don't think that's a healthy position for any team to be in when trying to put on a good display for the fans in what we consider to be the best league in the world."
