The 25-year-old midfielder, Ozil is a star player in Germany. He came at the German camp with a problem in his left knee and an MRI scan in Munich on Wednesday showed damage to the joint.
"The treatment takes six weeks of immobilization of the knee joint. Mesut Ozil is likely to be out of 10 to 12 weeks."
Ozil complained of a painful knee after the overcome at Chelsea on Sunday and Arsenal say they advised the German FA of the situation. The former Real Madrid player has now returned to the Gunners for further evaluation. If the analysis is correct, it means Ozil may not be available to play for Arsenal until after Christmas.
The injury gives Arsene Wenger further selection problems in midfield, following injuries to Ramsey and Arteta in the first place at the time of year.
Ramsey could be out for a further month after limping away of Arsenal's 1-1 draw with Tottenham on 27 September, 2014.
Ozil will miss Germany's Euro 2016 qualifiers matches against Poland on Saturday and the Republic of Ireland next Tuesday.
