Agreed. For all his obvious talent Spence is starting to become somewhat injury prone. He only returned to action right at the tail end of last season and imo didn't look the same as he had prior to his injury. Can only assume whatever the issue was it has flared up again. I wonder if he was pushed back into action to soon given the U18 play off games last season? Would be nice to know what the situation was. 16 yr old Mayembe has come from nowhere to be part of this U23 tour squad where as you say there have been some obvious older omissions.
