The ex-Sporting Clube de Portugal forward picked up a muscle injury during Saturday's 2-0 victory at Burnley, having to be substituted at half-time after netting the Gunners' first goal. "No he's not available," Mikel Arteta confirmed in his pre-match press conference.
"He hasn't trained today and we need to do some more tests and scans to understand the extent of the injury. I am concerned, because he hasn't had many muscular issues and he had to leave the pitch [on Saturday]."
"He asked to be subbed, so we'll have to wait and see," Arteta said about the midfielder after the game.

If everything goes according to plan, the trio could return for the match against Sunderland on Saturday (November 8).
Arteta previously commented: "[The long-termers] are progressing really well," adding: "They are starting to do certain activities.
"They are super willing to be available as quick as possible. But at the moment, none of them are in contention in the next week or so."
