Tzolis underwent an initial scan on Friday and sources close to Greece’s national side indicate that the winger will be out of action for approximately two to three weeks.
Arsenal will conduct further tests to discover the extent of Tzolis’ hamstring injury.
But if Tzolis is out for three weeks, it would mean that the Greek winger is unavailable for Arsenal’s next Premier League game at home to Leeds United on October 10.
