Not that much older as I'd have expected but it is only the first season of the U23 league I suppose. The 28 year old was getting fitness back after a concussion apparently.
It was U21 last season so there won't immediately be teams full of U23's. They'll be between 17 and 21 mostly this season but the top end will get nearer to U23 in a season or two. If City continue with playing the younger lads up a level then the age difference will grow.Most ridiculous thing ever calling it an U23 league. All the players will be 17-20.
I wonder if we may give Ilkay and Vinny a run out in this league. That used to happen many years ago in the reserves and would be good to help their match sharpness
