European Leagues and players' union Fifpro have filed a legal complaint against Fifa .

They claim it is an "abuse of dominance" by world football's governing body.

There has been an ongoing row about the number of games players face during a season.

There are 12 European representatives at the expanded Club World Cup , to be held in the United States from June-13 July .

A recent study by the CIES Football Observatory suggests that clubs are not playing more matches per season.

The average number of fixtures per club and season sat at just over 40 .

Aleksander Ceferin has conceded "the match calendar has reached full capacity" but also believes complaints over the issue are from a minority of players.
