Gervinho ruled out for three weeks

Having picked up a thigh strain, Gervinho is set to miss three weeks of action — including Roma's clash with Barcelona.

Roma has confirmed that forward Gervinho will be sidelined for up to three weeks because of a thigh strain.

The Ivory Coast international was forced off after 72 minutes of his country's 3-0 World Cup qualifying win over Liberia on Tuesday and underwent further tests in the Italian capital.

The club has since announced that the injury is likely to keep him out of action for three weeks, meaning he will miss the crucial Champions League clash with Barcelona at Camp Nou on Nov.
