Personally I don't think it is any coincidence that Keiron Dyer, Wayne Rooney and Michael Owen all had perennial injury problems having played Men's Professional football whilst still schoolkids.

I fear Andre Dozzell may not make as many games in his career as he might have, too.

I would like to see 1 professional game a week maximum for under-21s, and further restrictions on under-18s.

Owen's injury issues came after his hamstring went "ping" while running on to a through-ball at Elland Road while playing for Liverpool.

I looked up the previous record holder - Eamon Collins:
Colchester 106 apps
Then 28 apps for Portsmouth, Exeter and Gillingham combined ,before dropping to non-league at age of 28

Aged 19. And had to completely change the way that he played as a result.

Would he have torn it had he only been allowed to play 1 game a week at that stage? Maybe, maybe not. But overall it would be a good policy change, and would benefit some super-talented players, and lots of others, too.
