(Reuters) - Premier League managers put forward their concerns on fixture congestion in Thursday's meeting with the league but it felt like they were talking to a wall, Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte said on Friday.

Both players and managers have been up in arms over player welfare with many teams playing twice in three days after Christmas while COVID-19 outbreaks have forced the Premier League to postpone games https://www.reuters.com/lifestyle/sports/liverpool-v-leeds-wolves-v-watford-games-postponed-due-rising-covid-19-cases-2021-12-23, creating a fixture pile-up.

"I have to be honest, I think that it was a meeting we tried to speak. Some coaches tried to speak to ask about a solution but I think everything was decided," Conte told reporters ahead of Sunday's match against Crystal Palace.When asked if the meeting was a waste of time, Conte said:"I think so. When you have a wall in front of you -- you can speak and ask for what you want -- but every decision was taken.

"It is not easy for us, it is not easy for all the teams to play after only one day, it's not simple. You have to manage the situation very well because of the risk of losing players to injuries," Conte added.
