Arsenal ace Mohamed Elneny has been ruled out for two to three weeks after picking up a hamstring injury.
The club released the latest team news about the £5m Egyptian on their website ahead of this weekend’s clash with Norwich City on their website.
The only other notable absentee from the Gunners squad for this weekend is Granit Xhaka, who is serving a three-game ban. The Swiss ace picked up a red card in the 5-0 defeat to Manchester City two weeks ago.
Meanwhile, Arteta confirmed in his pre-match press conference that Sead Kolasinac will be assessed.
