Lucas Perez will miss the next three weeks of action for Arsenal according to reports after picking up a thigh injury but Mesut Ozil should be fine.
The forward was a surprise omission from the matchday bench against West Brom and Arsenal confirmed that both him, and Mesut Ozil, were out with injury:
We've seen a lot of tweets about this, so to confirm…

Now, Goal are reporting that Lucas will be out for three weeks, although they do not say how they know this. There was no word on an injury when Wenger gave his press conference on Thursday and the club will no doubt want the results of any scans before making any prognosis.
There is no word on Mesut Ozil’s hamstring although we will hear sooner than we normally would with the German national team likely to provide an update. The Evening Standard are reporting that he is expected to feature for the Germans as it is just a ‘minor injury’.
