groin/hip problem

Have you considered that your groin pain might have its origin in your Thoracolumbar region? Check this and retest the groin movements. Additionally, many footballers I see with groin problems sit in lumbar flexion and laterally rotated hips. They attempt to run and kick a ball in this position and therefore stress the groin. You need to change how you sit and run and then see what happens to the symptoms.

I would recommend a medical check up, if not already mentioned.

Just on a general point, most groin pain originates as a compensatory mechanism for hip abduction weakness or piriformis tightness. Pain can spread into the testicles as they share the same fascial field as the adductors. You could benefit from someone who knows the myofascial approach, who can test the strength patterns of the hips and flexibility of the fascia in the area. Restoring hip strength, NOT through exercise but via myofascial release, can prevent the compensatory actions of the adductors, thus relieve pain.
