This is not right...

Trust me. He should be withdrawn from the first team Asap.

He is far too young for this sort of exposure and it will definitely prove costly to his career in the long run.

The might want to consider moving him to their youth team- preferably U15/16- until he turns 16. Give him another 4 years at least.

Letting such a kid play with grown men is grossly irresponsible. He still has a whole lot of development to do.
