Manchester City top the Premier League workload chart with 5,027 World Cup minutes played by their squad. Rodri alone has played 537 minutes, while Marc Guehi and Nico O'Reilly contributed 483 and 454 minutes respectively. Elliot Anderson, moving from Nottingham Forest to the Etihad, added a further 533 minutes for England.

Arsenal follow with the second highest total in the league at 4,285 minutes. Key contributors include William Saliba with 450 minutes for France and Declan Rice with 386 for England, alongside Noni Madueke, Bukayo Saka, Mikel Merino, and Eberechi Eze.

Liverpool, Aston Villa, and Manchester United also follow, all recording above 2,500 minutes. Conversely, Brentford are among the least represented teams with slightly more than 600 minutes. Emiliano Martinez (600) and Jordan Pickford (570) lead all Premier League players for minutes, though goalkeepers face different physical demands than outfield players.
