Let's say he's been unlucky so far.Last season he pulled his hamstring in December, missed 13 matches, came back for 6 matches and then pulled his hamstring again and missed a further 4 matches. That's almost half a season in total.
This season he injured his knee in August and missed 4 matches and then broke his metatarsal in April which ended his season. That's almost another half season in total.
That's 34 matches missed through injury in two seasons.
Even Adam Lallana has only missed 25 matches though injury in that period.
So yes, he is a bit of a sick note.
If he's unavailable for significant parts of this season, then i'll agree with your assessment.
