"I think the club asked the league to postpone one or two or three weeks so we can have a holiday after the (Club) World Cup but it is absolutely not allowed. The Premier League say yes to us? No. Absolutely not.

"They won't postpone these games so there will be a moment of 'what do we do?'

"I don't have an answer right now but we are going to take a decision with common sense."
