Arsenal's Mesut Ozil has been ruled out for up to 12 weeks with a knee injury.
The 25-year-old midfielder, who is on international duty with Germany, played 90 minutes in
Arsenal's 2-0 defeat at Chelsea
on Sunday.
But he arrived at the German camp with a problem in his left knee and an MRI scan in Munich on Wednesday showed damage to the joint.
The Gunners are already without injured midfielders Aaron Ramsey and Mikel Arteta.
A statement on the German Football Association website read: "The MRI examination revealed a partial rupture of the outer band of the left knee joint.
"The treatment is six weeks of immobilisation of the knee joint. Mesut Ozil is likely to be [out for] 10 to 12 weeks."
Ozil complained of a sore knee after the defeat at Chelsea on Sunday and Arsenal say they advised the German FA of the situation. The former Real Madrid player has now returned to the Gunners for further assessment.
