Manchester City midfielder Fernandinho will serve a four-match ban after an appeal against his red card during the 2-1 defeat of Burnley on Monday was dismissed by the Football Association.
Fernandinho was sent off after 32 minutes against Burnley for a strong challenge on Clarets midfielder Johann Berg Gudmundsson.
City appealed the dismissal but with the FA having rejected it, the Brazilian has been handed a four-game suspension as he has picked up two red cards in the Premier League this season. He will miss the FA Cup clash with West Ham followed by the league games against Everton, Tottenham and West Ham.
