Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo has called on the Premier League to give concessions to teams playing in Europe.
The Molineux outfit could be playing in Europe until August 21 if they reach the Europa League final, with the Premier League set to commence on September 12.
They face Olympiacos in Wolverhampton on Thursday with their last-16 tie evenly poised at 1-1.
Chelsea boss Frank Lampard expressed similar sentiments last week about the season starting date for teams competing in Europe, and Nuno agrees with his Premier League counterpart.
Speaking before the game, Nuno said: "I'm hopeful the Premier League will look at that and allow the teams involved a little bit more time.
"Mainly because of the players - they need time. We know we have a tight schedule next season and they must be aware of the health of the players and must take care of them.
"The Premier League should acknowledge the teams involved in Europe, depending on how far they go, as the players require more time to recover. We are going to play in August and we're going to start playing again in September.
"I'm sure they will look at it and adjust the schedule.
"For sure, no team will be able to give too much time for the players to recover.
"It's why we're approaching it as a continuation of what we've been doing so we're prepared to start again.
"It can't be a stop and go - we have to adjust. Everything has been disturbed by the pandemic so we have to look at the continued process through the year."
