Yeah probably, and CF + CB not as demanding as other positions. Think the rest part is rather to lower the risk of injury rather than keeping him fresh. But it's an unusual schedule we have currently with 2 days rest between the games.Will be called a fanboy for this but imo he's one of those players who can cope with consistent 90 mins even when the games are frequent.
Think he can manage. He has a good relationship with Xavi and will let him know when it gets too much.
