Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard is not expected to return from a knee injury until after the November international break.
The midfielder suffered a medial collateral ligament injury in the Gunners' win over West Ham on 4 October and had to be replaced during the first half.
Arsenal released a statement the day after, confirming Odegaard would miss the current international window, but did not set a timeline for his recovery.
However, the 26-year-old is set to remain unavailable until after the next set of international fixtures in the middle of November.
