As with all stats, there may be more than meets the eye. If he missed a whole season with a ligament injury 3 or 4 years ago, then there's little to worry about. If he only plays 15-25 games every single season, that's a real issue.
EDIT: Just checked Wikipedia and he only managed one league appearance 3 seasons ago. 73 games in all competitions over the last two years (48 in the league) sounds nowhere near as bad. 40 in all competitions this season just gone.
Fairly sure that somewhere in this thread someone's also said he had a back injury that was bad at the time but fully recovered from?
Yep. And I don't think he's had a reoccurrence of it since.
