Gabriel Jesus was rested on Wednesday morning and missed Arsenal training as a result, football.london understands.
The striker looked to be in some discomfort during the Gunners' 3-2 home win over Liverpool on Sunday after Kostas Tsimikas caught the Brazilian with a flailing arm in the second half. Though he continued for a while after, he was eventually brought off.
Arsenal fans feared that there may be further issues when news emerged that he was absent from training, but football.london have since learned that he was simply being rested and there are no further injury concerns. Whether that means he will continue to be rested for Arsenal's game against Bodo/Glimt on Thursday is unknown, but he is expected to be back in training ahead of this weekend's Premier League clash with Leeds United.

Oleksandr Zinchenko is another Gunner who didn't make it out onto the training pitch following his recent injury setback. The Ukraine international was as passionate as every other Arsenal fan in the ground on Sunday, but it looks as though Thursday will come too soon for him to return to the field.
Meanwhile, Mohamed Elneny and Emile Smith Rowe, who will be out for considerably longer, were also absent from training as they continue to recover from their respective injury issues.
The Gunners will travel to Norway before tomorrow evening as they look to consolidate their position as Group A leaders with another win. They ran out comfortable 3-0 winners over Bodo/Glimt just last week, but the atmosphere will be entirely different away from home, so Mikel Arteta won't be treating them lightly.
