India were whitewashed 4-0 in the Test series,lost their number one Test ranking and are in danger of suffering a similar debilitating fate in the one-day series, starting with the first game in Chester-le-Street on September 3.
Since then, he has visited doctors and got MRI scans done which have shown clean results, yet Gambhir's condition hasn't improved.
Gambhir's case could be similar to the one suffered by South African fast bowler Dale Steyn during the Champions League last year when he too had backpedalled to take a catch offered by Michael Hussey in the semifinal clash between Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore and fell on his head.
Steyn's MRI scans too showed little but the paceman took 3-4 weeks to get himself sorted out.
By the looks of it, Gambhir could also suffer a similar fate and could be out of action for 3-4 weeks, putting in doubt even his participation when England pay a return visit to India for a one-day series in early October.
