Yes I have had the dud Scout myself, they do happen. But as above said try different things before giving up on him, especially FK or Corners.
If it is under 5 days injury I usually heal leaving 1 day and let him sit out a match when injury gone. If longer of course you will want to heal him but try to ease him back into playing, maybe use him as a late sub.

If you can, try to play him in some friendlies to determine where his strengths are.
