He could be out for about a month if some of the ligaments have snapped I'm guessing. I'm just going off when I tore and strained my cruciant knee ligaments last year. It wasnt a bad one but I couldnt walk in it at all the first few days but was told no footlar for 5 weeks.
He'll be getting top draw treatment so it should be less than that but it'll be rebuilding his muscle up that might take a week or two.
In perspective for Arteta's injury he will be 6 months because of the op rather than the injury itself. The injury would mean he's out for 2-3 months or so to heal fully but his knee wouldnt be the same and would probably go again, leading to arthritis in the joint later in life. Because you bend your knee all the time, the ligaments are there to stretch and bend. When they go they never really heal properly because they've snapped.
The op he'll get will tie them up so add another month or 2 for healing, then add another 2 months or so to rebuild the muscle (training, weights etc).
Same might be for Vic so dont be expecting him back soon if that's the case. Or it could be just badly brusied so 2 weeks max.
