Even if he is faking an injury...
it is not in the club's or the player's interest for that to be made public.
From the club's point of view it would make it obvious you have a player effectively on strike, which rather limits your ability to negotiate any sort of decent fee.
From the player's point of view it makes you look like a problem character, which might impact any deal you get at a new club.
So both sides will maintain it is a genuine injury whatever the truth, and frankly that is the correct thing to do.
I made this point earlier in the season when he was supposedly out for 'personal reasons' but its still true.
