The five World Cup players with the most club minutes

5. Saul (Atletico Madrid / Spain)

With 4,752 minutes, Saul has seen his fair share of football this season but is unlikely to play in every single game for Spain.

4. Marc-Andre Ter Stegen (Barcelona / Germany)

'Los Cules' No. 1 has been involved in the thick of the action in Spain (4,860 minutes) but will rarely see any playing time in Russia because his rival Manuel Neuer is Joachim Low's first choice.

3. Luis Suarez (Barcelona / Uruguay)

Suarez has been Barca's second-highest scorer this season and played the second-highest amount of minutes (4,969). He will be equally important for Uruguay at the World Cup too as they look to make a decent run in the competition.

2. Lionel Messi (Barcelona / Argentina)

He will have the hopes of his nation on his shoulders in Russia, but Messi will have to perform with 5,008 minutes under his belt already. No pressure.

1. Rui Patricio (Sporting Lisbon / Portugal)

Portugal boast the player with the most amount of minutes (5,580) in the shape of their first choice goalkeeper. Expect Patricio to play an important part if the European side go far in Russia.
