Ivory Coast forward Gervinho was given a two-match suspension on Wednesday and will miss the rest of the group stage at the African Cup of Nations.

The Roma player was given a straight red card on Tuesday after slapping Guinea midfielder Naby Keita during the second half of a 1-1 draw.

Because of the nature of the incident, the African soccer federation decided Wednesday that Gervinho would have to sit out the team's two remaining Group D matches.
