how many games has he played? I´m not saying he is the greatest fitness player ever but a player that played around 30 games in his first season in England, then another 40 the next couple of season is not highly injury prone. Cause a part from that one injury during his time with Newcastle, nothing has been out of the ordinary. I think he even clocked up around 45 apps in his last two seasons with Newcastle. That is overworked if anything, not highly injury prone. His record is there for all to see on transfermarkt. 107 days, the only big injury he has had, then another two occassion with a groin injury following that. Basically the only time he has been out beside now, beside some minor injury. Like a shoulder or a hand injury. Beside the injury he has had now, I followed this player before he went to Spain. Not the best fitness as proven by his last summer, I think we should not be paying that kind of money for a player that can´t keep himself fit but I would not state that he is highly injury prone. I do that with players that average less the 30% of available game time, I call players that get about 50% of available game time injury prone. Players that average above 75% are just players, players that average about 90% of game time are rare.
