Arsenal midfielder Yossi Benayoun has said that he will be out of action for "a week or so" with a strain.

The 31-year-old revealed that he had suffered the injury during the Gunners' Carling Cup win against Shrewsbury on Tuesday night.

Benayoun is likely to miss Saturday's visit of Bolton Wanderers as well as Wednesday's Champions League group match against Olympiakos.
