Arsenal expect Theo Walcott back in action next week.
The 20-year-old England international has been absent since he picked up a back injury after coming on at half-time during Arsenal's 2-0 pre-season friendly defeat by Valencia at the Mestalla on 8 August.
"Walcott missed his country's matches in September and is expected to return soon after the international break," Arsenal said today.
