This seems to work fine. Make sure you have the latest version installed and disable caching (likely, you are mixing old cached data with newly retrieved data). I ran the code below.

import soccerdata as sd
fbref = sd.FBref("ENG-Premier League", "1718", no_cache=True)
match_summary_stats = fbref.read_player_match_stats(stat_type="summary", no_cache=True)
