Arteta out for three weeks

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has revealed that Mikel Arteta could be sidelined for "approximately three weeks" through injury.

The Spanish midfielder was forced to miss Sunday's 2-0 defeat to Manchester City in the Premier League with a calf strain.

The 30-year-old could miss up to five matches for the Gunners as he regains fitness.

Arteta has scored four goals in 26 appearances for Arsenal this season.
