Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner is concerned that he won't be fit in time for the start of next season.
Bendtner and Denmark were eliminated early from the World Cup, but the 22-year-old feels he is not recovering as quickly as he had hoped.
The Dane missed large chunks of last season through injury, and already looks a concern for the next campaign.
He said: "I still feel quite bad in my groin. Sadly it hasn't been better during my holiday, like I expected it to giving it nothing but rest.
"And that worries me a lot. I had hoped and counted on that a total break from football and training would heal the injury but it hasn't happened.
"I have spoken to Arsenal throughout the holiday and I am having a big scan when I return this week.
"My whole body must be scanned to find out where the groin problem really comes from.
"I still feel pain and it is very frustrating. I don't know where I am in relation to playing football."
