Arsenal have revealed that Henrikh Mkhitaryan will be out for at least six weeks because of an injury to his right foot.
Mkhitaryan suffered a fractured metatarsal in last Wednesday's 2-0 Carabao Cup defeat to Tottenham and was replaced at half-time.
Arsenal have now revealed the extent of the injury with the Armenian playmaker not due to resume full training for six weeks.

Mkhitaryan has been a regular under Unai Emery and has contributed four Premier League goals this season.
The 29-year-old will miss key league games against Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City as Arsenal continue their pursuit of a top-four place.
Mkhitaryan arrived at the Emirates Stadium almost a year ago as part of the swap deal that took Alexis Sanchez to Manchester United.
