“Our medical team will support Kim closely over the coming months and we look forward to seeing her back on the field of play soon.”
Little will miss Arsenal’s final six Women’s Super League matches, with Jonas Eidevall’s side still in the hunt for the title, and their Champions League semi-final against Wolfsburg.
She is the third Arsenal player to sustain a season-ending injury this term. Forwards Beth Mead and Vivianne Miedema are both sidelined with anterior cruciate ligament injuries suffered before the winter break.
Little has made 23 appearances in all competitions this season and scored seven goals.
Arsenal are next in action on Wednesday when they face WSL leaders Manchester United.
