Owen Hargreaves may be forced to quit top-level football in the next two years if his chronic knee problem persists, BBC Sport understands.
The Manchester United and England midfielder has had two operations to cure a tendinitis problem in both knees but the pain has yet to subside.
It is believed the 28-year-old has not yet planned a return date but is still confident of making a full recovery.
He has had only 25 starts since a £17m move from Bayern Munich in July 2007.
Hargreaves, who was seen demonstrating his ball skills during United's warm-up for the Champions League final in Rome on 27 May, has not featured for Sir Alex Ferguson's side since their 1-1 draw with Chelsea on 21 September 2008.
He underwent surgery on his right knee last November and then on his left knee in January.
The procedures were carried out under the guidance of leading American knee surgeon Richard Steadman, who has previously operated on former Newcastle striker Alan Shearer, current Magpies forward Michael Owen and ex-Red Devils striker Ruud van Nistelrooy, who is now at Real Madrid.
Ferguson has previously said that he was "certain" Hargreaves would be fit for the beginning of the 2009-2010 campaign but it is now believed there is little chance of that happening.
That's not good for United or England especially with the money United paid for him only to have him not play that much at all...
Well he could have played for Canada also, did he not choose to play for Wales u21 over Canada before he chose England over Wales?
He was involved in the U17 set up for Wales, didn’t play a game though. He was selected for the Wales U21 side after he informed the Welsh FA he qualified through his mother, and when we selected him, England U21s did so as well.
Can't say I blame him. But it would have been nice to see him in a Welsh jersey. He could have been that 1 player we needed to help us qualify for Euro 2004. Canada are the real losers though, since he was born there.
I forgot he even played for United until i heard about this on the Sports news earlier today. It's a shame what has happened to him as i rate him as one of the best Midfielders in England.

I blame his absence for our poor performance in the big games this season. Fucking great player. Great central midfielder, very good right winger, very good right back.
