Michael Owen<\/a> has warned young England<\/a> stars, such as Jack Wilshere<\/a> and Andy Carroll<\/a>, that they could be risking their fitness if they play in this summer’s European Under-21 Championship.<\/span><\/p>\n

The pair have been included in Stuart Pearce\u2019s 40-man squad for the tournament, despite Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger warning that too much football can be bad for young players.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cInteresting discussions on Sky News today regarding whether our best young players should be going to the Euro U21 Champs this summer,\u201d Owen wrote on Twitter.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTwo sides of the coin to look at. Everyone wants our best players to play as it would enhance our chances of winning it.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWould be good experience for the players, would prepare them well for future international tournaments, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOn the other side of the coin: some of them have had long seasons competing in the most physically demanding league in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNo winter breaks to help them recover. No summer break due to tournament so they will be playing for two years without a break. At such a young age that\u2019s not ideal.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The striker has 89 caps for England and has notched 40 goals for his country, but has struggled with hamstring injuries throughout his career and said that playing in the World Cup as a teenager “caught up” with him.<\/span><\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cI had the same scenario. No break for years. International summer tournaments every year without rest.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt eventually caught up with me. I went BANG towards the end of the season after the 1998 World Cup. Not saying that will happen to these lads.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cJust hope we have their interests at heart as I\u2019m sure we do as they are the future. Hard to know what is the right thing to do.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
