The 26-year-old picked up the injury after coming off the bench in the second half of Arsenal’s 0-1 defeat to Tottenham on Saturday at Wembley.
Alexandre Lacazette was operated upon on Tuesday and it was described as ‘a success’.
"He will now undergo a period of rehabilitation," Arsenal added in a statement. "It is envisaged he will return within four to six weeks."
