Gervinho had been suspended for violent conduct, the FA said on its website (http://www.thefa.com) today.

Arsenal and Newcastle were charged by the FA yesterday for failing to control their players. Gervinho, who joined from French club Lille last month, will miss Saturday's game at home to Liverpool, the Aug. 28 visit to champions Manchester United and the home match with promoted Swansea City on Sept. 10. – Reuters Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by Used Car Search. |

Coach Jupp Heynckes said the Dutchman (picture) was ready to help the Bavarians try to reach the group stages after they finished third in the Bundesliga last season and were forced to pre-qualify. "He trained very well for the past three days," Heynckes told reporters today. Bayern are desperate to go through especially as the final will be held in Munich next year. The financial fallout from failing to advance is also estimated at about £20 million (RM86 million). "We know this is a challenge for us.
