The league is to hold two meetings on Thursday to discuss player welfare.
One meeting will be at 4pm with all of the managers of the league, and the other will be with captains and senior players.
Managers and players are concerned about the number of games they have to play in quick succession during the Christmas holiday period because of the demands it is putting on squad which have been reduced in size as a result of Covid-19.

I am a big fighter and supporter of five changes, they were invented in Corona times to protect the health of the players and I think when we decide to keep on playing we should think about bringing this back.
It is very important to have that because it helps to share minutes and it helps to let players play again.
