He helped them to a 1-0 home win over West Ham United before suffering a season-ending ankle injury in his following appearance against Manchester City.
Right-back Cedric made the switch from Southampton in January after making more than 100 Premier League appearances for the south-coast club.
He scored on his debut for Mikel Arteta’s side against Norwich City and went on to play another four matches before the end of the season.
Cedric was part of the Portugal squad that won the 2016 UEFA European Championship also represented his country at the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
