Statements from the club’s website on Friday revealed this update.
However, Arteta, who signed a new three-year deal on Thursday, stated that further tests were needed to determine the extent of the injury.
“We need some more tests, so let’s see what happens in the next day or so,” the Spaniard said at his pre-match press conference on Friday.
“Let’s see what the extent of the injury is and how quickly we can get him back. He’s super positive about everything. We know Martin—he wants to be there every single day, but we have to wait and see.
“He’s willing, there’s no question about that. He wants to be present at every game, especially a big game like this one, but we need to make sure we first know how fit he can be.
