Professional football today sits on the brink of collapse and faces an uncertain future after Chelsea announced the recall of all of their loan players in order to help rescue their floundering Premier League campaign.
The move has depleted squads throughout the leagues, both home and abroad. All but a handful of matches scheduled for the weekend have been confirmed cancelled as clubs struggle to find enough players to field.
On the plus side, however, the situation has led to fantastic opportunities for youngsters across the world who would otherwise only dream of playing for professional clubs. Not least of them is Benny, a 9 year-old from Rochdale with severe muscular dystrophy who has found himself named as Rochdale captain for Saturday's home fixture against Fleetwood after the club management had heard talk of him being okay at football.
