Rejected petition Stop international football matches during standard European season

More details

I would like the government to prevent players who are registered with British professional football teams from attending international matches during the standard European season August to May.
There are an inordinate number of high profile professional footballers that are robbing the club fans of their services and displays because they have been injured on international duty and this needs to be addressed.
