    Can the footballer not say he doesn’t want to play this week or that week?

    I’m sure there are stats to show he’s fatigued, tired, and prone to injury

      They do, but sometimes the manager doesn’t really have a choice. I think it’s considered unprofessional if a player without injuries turns down the opportunity to play.
