Dani Ceballos could miss as many as five matches for Arsenal as he continues to struggle with a hamstring injury.
A report from football.london has revealed that the Spaniard could be sidelined for a while ahead of a busy festive period.
Arsenal themselves have confirmed that the player could return to training in December after suffering the injury against Vitoria in the Europa League.
After their meeting with Frankfurt tonight, the Gunners have a mixed run of fixtures coming up. They face Norwich, Brighton, West Ham, Man City and Everton in their next five league games.

Ceballos’ injury is a blow to Arsenal but his absence gives the likes of Lucas Torreira the opportunity to nail down a regular spot in the team.
The latter, who has been misused by Emery for large spells of the season so far, will be looking to impress in the coming weeks in case there is a change in the managerial dugout.
For Ceballos, to miss a busy run of fixtures is indicative of his time with Arsenal so far. He has threatened to breakthrough and showcase his true potential in North London, but as of yet, supporters have not seen the kind of form we witnessed during the early stages of the campaign.
