Remy is currently on loan at Newcastle United on a one-year deal from QPR, and has amassed 13 Premier League goals thus far.
But this latest 'injury' has many fans wondering if he simply wants "time out" to prepare for the World Cup with France.
QPR are expected to offload Remy in the summer with Arsenal set to make a move for the French international striker.
The 27-year-old was spotted in a London hotel with Arsenal officials recently, and Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is said to be an admirer of the French striker.
Newcastle have little chance of signing him because he has made it known he wants to play in the Champions League next season.
