    I wonder if now that Vini and Bellingham have picked up injuries that people will stop using them to say that young players can and should be able to handle any number of minutes

      I think this should be kept at medical professionals discretion entirely. Every body is different and they can make the best estimate and opinion. Us fans (who don’t have a medical/sports stuff) simply don’t know enough to differentiate between correlation and causation

      Are you attributing their injuries solely to the volume of minutes they played?

      Football evolved to young players being the cores of almost every team. The change should be limiting games in the calendar.

      Clubs can’t stockpile two equally talented players per position UNLESS they’re oil/doped clubs. It doesn’t make any sense business wise.
