Arsenal boss Wenger tells Gervinho to forget about Cup celebrations

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is demanding an immediate return from the African Nations Cup for Gervinho - even if they win it.

Wenger has told ­striker Gervinho that he ­expects him back in England on Tuesday – ­giving him one day to party – to prepare for next ­Saturday’s FA Cup fifth round tie at ­Sunderland.

Gervinho – a £10.8million ­signing from Lille last summer – was the star of the show as the Ivory Coast beat Mali in the ­semi-finals.

A brilliant individual strike from the 24-year-old secured a place in the final against Zambia in the capital city of Gabon.
