Premier League water breaks to be ‘scrapped next season’

Water breaks in the Premier League will be scrapped altogether at the end of the season, it is reported.

Mandatory one-minute drink breaks in each half were introduced by the Premier League after a three-month absence to try to reduce injury risk during the hectic fixture schedule and scramble to get the season finished.

But, according to The Athletic, water breaks are to be stopped once the 2019-20 campaign finishes and will not be brought back when next season starts in September.

Because they are playing in the often unfamiliar warmth of the summer months, players are being given the chance to take on board some much-needed hydration.

The water breaks also allow time for goalposts, corner flags and balls to be disinfected to help reduce the risk of disease spreading amid the coronavirus pandemic.

But the mandatory breaks have come in for plenty of criticism, with many arguing that it disrupts the flow of the games – particularly when one team is on the up.

It has also been widely argued that the pause in play enables managers to give much-needed tactical advice to their players.

Meanwhile, Premier League chief executive Richard Masters also recently rejected the suggestion from a politician that the drink breaks are being exploited to produce extra revenue through advertising.

Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho was just one of many who argued against the water breaks – which occur at the mid-point of each half.

‘If anyone says it’s just a drinks break we all know it’s not true,’ Mourinho previously said.

‘It’s a tactical break. You can help one team who is in the negative moment of the game and you can kill the dynamic of a team that is in a high, that’s no doubt.’
