The German FA announced the news of his scan results on their website after Ozil missed training ahead of their upcoming European Qualifiers against Poland and the Republic of Ireland.
A statement on the DFB website read: "The MRI examination today at National Dr. Hans-Wilhelm Muller-Wohlfahrt in Munich revealed a partial rupture of the outer band of the left knee joint.
"The treatment is conservative, with six weeks of immobilisation of the knee joint. Mesut Ozil is likely to be (out for) 10 to 12 weeks."
The midfielder played the full game on Sunday as Arsenal were beaten 2-0 at Chelsea - the sixth time in six Premier League starts he has completed all 90 minutes.
The news comes as a further blow to Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger whose squad has already been depleted with injuries to Olivier Giroud, Mathieu Debuchy, Aaron Ramsey, Mikel Arteta and Theo Walcott.
