You only have to be injured once and you will be overtaken on all sides in this list. According to the statistics of Julian Baas, for example Eredivisie.nl are tenth in this list, with only five km less in their legs than Peer Koopmeiners. The Almere City midfielder only missed the home match against Feyenoord this season and has already run 287 km.
Mats Wieffer also ran 287 km this season. The midfielder is an indispensable part of Feyenoord’s starting eleven and has only played one match in the Eredivisie this season. Last international match he played two matches for the Dutch national team, so Wieffer may be able to make even more kilometers at the European Championships next summer.
There is another player who has run 287 km: Joshua Kitolano. The Norwegian runs all over the field at Sparta and that results in goals. He scored five times in the Eredivisie this season and provided two assists. Kitolano also played for Norway Under 21. Will he make his debut for the national team soon?
Davy van den Berg only missed one match this season. The midfielder played every minute in 23 matches and therefore has quite a few meters in his legs. The odometer so far stands at 288 km. One more than Kitolano, Wieffer and Koopmeiners.
The Icelandic Willumsson doesn’t mind putting in the miles. This season, the attacking midfielder has already run 298 kilometers. This puts him at the top of this list. Willumsson played 25 matches this season and ran more than seven marathons. Obviously he can run more than a lot. He already managed to score seven times.
