The Gunners midfielder has been troubled by the problem for a while, and was forced to sit out Russia’s World Cup qualifier against Liechtenstein on Saturday as a result.
He did, however, play the full 90 minutes for his country against Wales on Wednesday, helping Guus Hiddink’s side to a 3-1 victory in Cardiff.
They face a tough match against unbeaten City at Eastlands on Saturday, before starting their Champions League group campaign in Liege on Wednesday and a home encounter against Wigan Athletic the following weekend.
"He will be out for Saturday, for Wednesday and certainly as well for Wigan," Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger confirmed on Thursday.
