Gervinho blow for Gunners

Arsenal winger Gervinho is expected to be out for around three weeks with an ankle problem, manager Arsene Wenger confirmed on Thursday morning.

The Ivory Coast international had to be substituted following an awkward fall after coming on during the second half of last weekend's 1-0 win over QPR at Emirates Stadium.

"Compared to last week Gervinho is of course out, for we think three weeks," he said.
