The news is a blow for Arteta, who has steered Arsenal to the top of both the Premier League and Champions League standings this season despite a spate of injuries.
Noni Madueke returned to action as Trossard’s replacement against Bayern, and scored Arsenal’s second goal. Gabriel Martinelli also returned from injury in the second half, scoring the third in the 3-1 win.
