Because players may not be fit to play even 60 mins after a lay off. For some a gradual build up in matches coupled with the how they are training mid week too builds up their fitness.

When MOR got injured against Crawley we brought on Mark O’Mahony despite having the more experienced Evan Ferguson on the bench. That was because we knew Evan wouldn’t be able to play 85+ mins so at that stage he wasn’t an option.

MOR got half an hour against City, which is probably more than the club expected so that is a positive. It doesn’t mean we should immediately jump to playing him for an hour plus though. A couple more appearances of that length would probably be what the club are looking at for him at first.
He's been in training a few weeks now, so should be fit enough fit an hour. I agree with you if he had literally only started training this week though.

Reading between the lines of what was said after the Man City game (and the look on Fab's face when he said it), I think both Ferdi and Hinsh will be fit after not going playing for Turkey and England u-21. So I'd expect one of them to be at left back.

After the last international break, the players who had a long journey back didn’t start. I expect it will be the same again for Mitoma and Estupinan.
Mitoma is playing Tuesday lunchtime, so suspect he'll be back in good enough time to rest up before Saturday.
Pervis is more difficult as his game is Tuesday night, so he might struggle to be ready for Saturday. As others have said, it might depend upon what options we have for left back position, depending on the injury situation.

What team could we put out from just players who didn't go out on International duty?

Rutter is not with the France U21s this month. They helpfully publish a list of all those called up every international break

To be fair shouldn't these players be actually coming back business class?

So they can effectively rest, in comfort, most of the way?
