Odd one this as he has just had to retire for medical reasons. ( yes I’m aware a lot of people don’t like him)

They usually can't take the wear and tear of training every day. They'd just end up breaking down all the time.

The likes of Kirchoff, Paul McGrath and Ledley King were like this but had already made it in the game so could be managed. All 3 were probably crippled for days post game.

A little bit light training and just ticking over followed by playing within themselves, making the ball do the work, might be manageable?
