Ivory Coast forward Gervinho has been handed a two-game ban
following his red card in the 1-1 Africa Cup of Nations draw with Guinea
in Malabo on Tuesday.
The former Arsenal man was shown a straight red card in the second
half of the Group D game for hitting out at Guinea's Naby Keita.
The
suspension means the 27-year-old will miss the Elephants' remaining
Group D games against Mali and Cameroon and will only feature again in
the competition if his side reach the quarter-finals.
The Roma
forward took to Twitter on Wednesday to say: "I would like to apologise
to the Ivorian nation, to my team-mates, to the supporters and to the
organisers of the CAN for this angry gesture which is totally out of
character and evidently has no place on a football pitch." ...SkySports
