Gervinho Out for 3 Weeks

Thursday, Nov. 19

AS Roma announced that Gervinho suffered a thigh strain during international duty and was expected to be sidelined for three weeks. 

Gervinho, 27, is one of Roma’s most important attackers. He’s notched six goals and an assist in 10 Serie A appearances and has added a goal and an assist in three Champions League matches. His 7.58 average match rating from WhoScored.com is second on the club behind only Miralem Pjanic (7.73).

Roma is just a point behind Fiorentina and Inter Milan on the Serie A table, so losing Gervinho is a major blow as they try to keep pace atop with the league leaders. The club will now need to lean even more heavily on attackers Mohamed Salah and Edin Dzeko while the lively and speedy Gervinho is sidelined.
