Sicario2 - Tier 1 it's not about babying. It's about player health. They have information we don't, about muscle balance, coordination, skeletal maturity, etc. They also have endurance metrics and monitor growth and development as these factors rapidly change in a crucial period of this kid's life. I would love to see him start, for footballing reasons, but let's not pretend it's simple or that everyone is the same. I personally believe that Cesc aged rapidly, and I wouldn't be surprised if playing so much at a young age was part of the reason (could also have nothing to do with it, that's the point, we don't know).
