Plenty of players his age play week in week out at higher levels.
I don’t remember Yates, Grealish, McGregor etc having their game time managed.
Abbott will probably have dips during the season. These could be form or fitness related. We probably could have him play 40+ games, but the encouraging thing is that we have good options which will allow us to rotate rather then flog him to death.

To take Grealish and McGregor as examples. We probably couldn’t afford to not play them. You take them out, and we had;

Fotheringham, Tempest, Boucard, Melvin, Vela, Dixon.
