100 games in 2 years is about 1 a week isn’t it? I hear what you’re saying but I’m not sure if I subscribe to it, injuries are a part of the game at all levels and always have been. If he was still with the under 23s or whatever he’d still be playing every week, and there’s nothing to say his ACL injury is due to fatigue
Your forgetting summer breaks. Months without any football.
That means during the season, he’s playing 1.5 games per week, closer to 2 game per week. For 2 years straight.
I get that this isn’t a popular take but that number of games is no different to what he’d be playing if he wasn’t in the 1st team, and nobody knows how individual players’ load is managed between games. The nutrition, treatment and sports science involved in how they look after themselves has never been better. The difference in what they know know vs the 90s is night and day
For me it’s a bit of a stretch to suggest his ACL injury is purely a result of playing a lot of games
On average it’s one a week, but that average is so misleading it’s not even worth giving a second thought to
