In a time characterized by squad rotations, managing player workloads, and demanding fixture schedules, playing every minute in the Premier League has become a mark of distinction for the league’s toughest athletes. As we reach the 11-game milestone of the new season, a select few outfield players have bucked this trend—being ever-present, consistently dependable, and vital to their managers’ strategies. These athletes range from stalwart centre-backs and tireless full-backs to indefatigable midfielders, each of whom has navigated tactical shifts and injury concerns to stay on the pitch from the opening to the closing whistle. Transfermarkt shines a light on the 20 outfield players who have not missed a single minute of Premier League action this season.
Complete List of Outfield Players Who Haven’t Missed a Minute in the Premier League
Out of the 20 players mentioned, 13 are centre-backs. Arsenal’s Gabriel has been a constant presence for the Gunners, though he is now a doubt for this Sunday’s North London derby following a groin strain sustained while playing for Brazil, putting his status in this select group in jeopardy. Similarly, Manchester United’s Matthijs de Ligt and Nottingham Forest’s Nikola Milenković have also been consistent. Brighton’s Lewis Dunk and Jan Paul Van Hecke, along with Crystal Palace’s Maxence Lacroix and Chris Richards, have each played every minute. Brentford’s defensive duo, Nathan Collins and Sepp van den Berg, also belong in this category.
Liverpool’s captain Virgil van Dijk stands out as another ever-present player, alongside West Ham’s Max Kilman, Leeds’ Joe Rodon, and Everton’s James Tarkowski. The list includes two full-backs: Burnley’s seasoned right-back Kyle Walker and Nottingham Forest left-back Neco Williams. Midfielders who have featured in every match are Sunderland’s captain Granit Xhaka, Everton’s versatile James Garner, Nottingham Forest’s Elliott Anderson, and notably, Liverpool’s Dominik Szoboszlai—who many believed might struggle for playing time after Florian Wirtz joined the squad but has proven to be Arne Slot’s most reliable asset. Rounding out the list is West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen.
