Explained in plain English

Why do players need game time?

'Game time' refers to the actual minutes a player spends on the pitch during competitive matches. For players like Mudryk, who hasn't played competitively since November 2024, regular game time is crucial for maintaining fitness, developing skills, and building confidence. Without it, a player's progress can stall, impacting their long-term career.
