Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta admits Cedric Soares some weeks away from making a debut.
The fullback was signed from Southampton last month.
Arteta revealed: "He is very disappointed because when you join a new club you want to make an impression straight away.
"He had an issue in his knee, it is not completely healed yet and he hasn't been training with us so I expect him to be back in the next couple of weeks but I can't give you a date."
