Arsenal insist the knee injury that caused Gabriel Jesus to miss the victory against Liverpool is minor.
Mail Sport exclusively revealed on Sunday morning that the Brazil international would miss the tie.
The news came as a major blow to Mikel Arteta's team given Jesus' status as the team's first choice striker.
But the Gunners are adamant Jesus, who has a history of knee problems, will not be a long-term casualty.
The north London don't have a game until January 20th, when the face Crystal Palace, so there is time for Jesus to recover ahead of his team's next fixture.
