Gervinho is expected to be out of the Arsenal team for three weeks with an ankle injury following last weekend's 1-0 win over QPR. Boss Arsene Wenger said: "Gervinho is out, we think [for] three weeks."
The 25 year old, who was scored five goals in 11 games in all competitions this season, will miss Saturday's trip to Manchester United.
"Basically the squad should be approximately the squad we had last week," Wenger said of this weekend's match at Old Trafford.
"We have no comebacks, no Wojciech [Szczesny], no [Kieran] Gibbs, no [Abou] Diaby."
