Flip the coin, if he doesn't return before the end of the season when his contract is up, who's going to want to buy a crock? I do see your point though in that he's looking to protect himself so he's fully fit come the start of the new season, still think he's doing himself no favours not playing though, depending on his injury status, which is never given to the paying fan.
