FIFA’s new rule might make young England players have to pick between the Club World Cup and U21 Euros which is going to affect players like Noni Madueke, Jamie Gittens, Rico Lewis and James McAtee. Teams like Chelsea, Borussia Dortmund and Manchester City will probably want their players for club games instead of letting them play international matches which puts these young guys in a tough spot.
- FIFA changed the rules so players can’t do both tournaments
- The best young players got schedule problems with their clubs and country teams
- Teams want their players to play club games more than country games
Club Commitments vs. International Duty
Noni Madueke who plays for Chelsea FC is really important for how the team wants to grow young players. Chelsea probably wants him to play for them more than anything else. Jamie Gittens who’s at Borussia Dortmund is kind of in the same boat. Since he left Man City for Dortmund he’s been doing really good there.
