I suppose a lot of European clubs have held back their players. Perhaps even at the player's request also. Still, we can't afford that as much as other nations. It's just odd that we omit players and then make these last ditch begs. 

Bayern didn't stop Tel playing at Toulon and now he has kicked on. I think Irankunda is also happy to wrap himself up in bubble wrap to ensure he gets to Munich unscathed. The thing is, an injury can happen absolutely anywhere. The long game is being played. Lets hope in a few years we can look back that it was worth it.
