If you compare Foden to someone like Pedri at Barcelona. When he was 17 he broke into that Barcelona team. Played pretty much all their games and then went to the Euro’s at 18 with Spain and then went to the Olympics as well. Since that season he's got injured every season.The kid is not done physically growing - a lot of the "holding back" is for his long-term benefit (and the club's).
Foden, at Moore's age, got 39 minutes that season across 5 appearances. Moore is on the right trajectory - and there is no benefit to over-using him now as he grows physically and mentally. Let him grow at a normal rate - instead of rushing him.
