Manchester City and Belgium are at loggerheads over the severity of Vincent Kompany's latest injury.
The centre-half, who captains club and country, has not played since limping off against Everton last month.
While the Blues maintain that his absence can be attributed to a thigh injury, members of the national side's medical team insist that Kompany is once again hampered by a groin complaint - a far more serious prognosis, given the player's track record with muscle ailments.
With another international break on its way, Kompany is likely to be assessed by Belgium once again.
A source close to the club admitted City are doing their best to down-play the extent of this latest setback, saying: "Vincent has struggled with muscle injuries for the best part of a year now.
"It is clear for all to see that he keeps breaking down. The Belgians had it right when they said it wasn't his thigh. It's actually the upper part of his groin and it is causing him all kinds of problems.
"He isn't able to participate in training at the moment and it is hard to put a specific date on his comeback."
That makes me feel a bit sick.
He's going to have an operation, isn't he, and be out for months.
I repeat that Pellers said that the 'doctor' said he needed an op but the 'club' did not agree. We both know what's going to happen now. After a year or two of arsing around, it's about time that it was sorted. Could be out for months but I fail to see a better alternative. Obviously, Belgium are thinking it should be sorted now and then he will be ready for the World Cup. The club are just worried about the games coming up before, say the January transfer window. You can see both sides but there is going to be only one winner and that's the 'doctor'.
As it should be.
