Manchester City defender Kyle Walker will remain suspended for three Champions League games after the club lost an appeal against the length of his ban.
Uefa deemed the foul to be “assault” which resulted in a three-match suspension instead of the automatic one-match ban for a sending-off.
Walker has already missed one game.
The 31-year-old sat out the first leg of City’s last-16 tie with Sporting Lisbon, which they won 5-0.
He will also miss the return in Manchester on Wednesday, 9 March and the first leg of a likely quarter-final in April.
