Isn't it just that

he isn't worth a place in the squad right now? I must have seen 75% of our matches this season and I can barely remember one when he played even close to his usual standard. And at Palace when, as you say, the game was crying out for him to come on and give us a different dimension - he simply didn't do it. Injections or not, he simply doesn't look anywhere near fit enough - at Barnsley he put in a great run and then didn't manage to hobble back onside - and didn't he recognise that the game might be up by only signing a one-year contract last year?
