Mikel Arteta has insisted he will not put a timeframe on Gabriel Jesus' potential return date from injury.

The Brazilian forward - who missed the first three game of the season with a knee problem - limped off during Arsenal's 2-1 victory over Sevilla in the Champions League last Tuesday.

The Brazilian felt a tweak in his hamstring at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium after he had scored and provided a brilliant assist for compatriot Gabriel Martinelli.

Subsequent scans ruled him out of the weekend's 5-0 victory over Sheffield United and he is also set to miss Wednesday's Carabao Cup clash against West Ham, but Arteta refused to put a timeline on his return after previously 'getting it totally wrong'.

'With him [Jesus], I’m honestly not going to give [a timeframe],' the Gunners boss told his pre-match press conference ahead of the game against the Hammers at the London Stadium.
