Ivory Coast attacker Gervinho, is set to miss his country’s last two group matches at the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations, after he was handed a two-game ban.
The Roma forward was sent off for hitting Guinea’s Naby Keita just 13 minutes after the break, as they drew 1-1 in their first group match.
The 27-year-old took to his Twitter account to apologised, saying: “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.”
