Gabriel Jesus missed training ahead of Arsenal’s Europa League clash with Bodø/Glimt on Thursday.
The Brazil international suffered a head injury during Sunday’s 3-2 win over Liverpool at Emirates after he was caught by an elbow from Kostas Tsimikas.
The 25-year-old required lengthy statement on the pitch but was eventually able to continue before being replaced by Eddie Nketiah.
After being assessed, Jesus has reportedly not suffered a concussion and was thought to be available for the trip to Norway.
But the former Manchester City was not among the Arsenal group training on Wednesday.
Jesus has had an instant impact in north London since his arrival from the Premier League champions, scoring five goals and laying on five assists in his 11 appearances this season.
Asked for an update following Sunday’s win, Mikel Arteta said of his forward: ‘I don’t know, I haven’t been with the doctor yet, I’m sure they are checking him, he seemed ok after the game.

‘I don’t know actually what happened but we’ll assess how well he is.’
Victory over Liverpool saw Arsenal move back to the summit of the Premier League having won eight of their nine league games, with their only blemish a defeat away to Manchester United.
Arteta’s side head to Elland Road on Sunday.
‘At the moment, enjoy where we are and again have even more determination to believe that we can play at that level, only when we go at that rhythm and play with courage that we played the second half and go step by step,’ Arteta said of the Gunners’ recent form.
‘I think on the day we play at our best, we have a chance but winning a football match is dictated by a lot of things that you have to control, and actually, you have to do it on the pitch, that is a different story.’
Oleksandr Zinchenko was another to miss training with the Ukrainian still recovering from a calf injury.
