LONDON: Arsenal’s Gervinho will be out of action for three weeks with an ankle injury, ruling him out of tomorrow’s Premier League clash against Manchester United, manager Arsene Wenger confirmed yesterday. The 25-year-old forward was stretchered off in Arsenal’s 1-0 win over Queens Park Rangers last weekend. The Ivory Coast international will also miss the club’s Champions League group match against Schalke 04 and Premier League encounters with Fulham and Tottenham Hotspur. Gervinho has scored three times in seven Premier League starts this season, having featured as a central striker rather than on the wing where he played for much of his debut season at the club. The north London club are currently sixth in the Premier League, six points behind United in second.
