Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is looking to gain compensation from the Dutch football federation following the ankle injury suffered by striker Robin van Persie while on international duty last month.
The forward sustained ankle ligament damage during Holland's friendly against Italy on November 14 and may not play again until April.
Wenger said: "We are working on this with our lawyers at the moment and we are definitely going for it.
"I expect financial compensation for the damage it can make to the championship and the salary involved. It is especially frustrating to lose your players for the rest of the season in a friendly game.
"Initially, the Dutch FA said it was a small problem and Robin called me to see if he could go and see this Serbian wonder doctor and it was OK.
"It was only when he came back here that we realised there was much more damage. In Holland they have a fight between the national doctor and the guy that did the surgery on Robin.
"We just want to go for it because there are a lot of things that have not been done properly after he was injured."
