Arteta will not return from his calf injury until January, manager Arsene Wenger confirmed Tuesday.

Arteta suffered the injury at the end of November in a Champions League match against Borussia Dortmund and was expected to miss at least six weeks. With Wenger's decision to hold him out until at least January, it appears Arteta could return around that time frame, though it's unclear if he will be put back in the starting XI when he returns.

Arteta could be sidelined for at least six weeks after suffering a calf injury during Wednesday's Champions League match against Borussia Dortmund, the Mirror reports.

Arteta isn't a terribly productive fantasy producer, but he plays an important role for Arsenal as one of its defensive midfielders. Mathieu Flamini is likely to see the biggest increase in playing time, with Aaron Ramsey possibly playing a more defensive role as well.

Arteta looks poised to return from his hamstring injury Saturday against Manchester United, the Telegraph reports.

Arteta was held out of Arsenal's match against Swansea City back on Nov. 9, but he has used the international break to rest the ailment and looks poised to reclaim his holding midfielder spot in the starting XI against Manchester United.

Arteta has been ruled out of Sunday's Premier League match against Swansea City due to a mild hamstring strain, but manager Arsene Wenger said Arteta is expected back after the international break.

Arteta will use the time off to recover and should be fit to face Manchester United on Nov. 22.

Arteta (knee) started and played 62 minutes in Saturday's 3-0 win over Burnley.

Arteta carried a minor knee issue into Saturday's match, but still started in his usual midfield role. Although the Spaniard was ultimately substituted off early in the second-half, a fit Arteta should compete with Mathieu Flamini to fill Arsenal's holding midfielder position moving forward.

Arteta was forced out of last Saturday's match against Sunderland after getting kicked on the knee, but the club is confident he'll be fit enough to face Burnley this Saturday, the Telegraph reports.

Arteta has dealt with a number of ailments this season and has moved in-and-out of the starting XI, making him a very inconsistent fantasy performer.

Arteta (calf) will be in the squad to face Hull City on Saturday, manager Arsene Wenger confirmed Thursday.

Arteta's presence will provide some needed stability in the Arsenal midfield, though he is unlikely to replace the offensive production left by Aaron Ramsey (hamstring) and Mesut Ozil (knee).
