Manchester City's appeal against Kyle Walker's three-match European ban has failed.
The full-back was given his marching orders during the 2-1 defeat to RB Leipzig in the Champions League group stage on December 7, which was a dead rubber for City as they had already secured top spot in Group A.
UEFA's control, ethics and disciplinary body deemed a foul on Andre Silva as 'assault' which resulted in a three-game suspension being handed to Walker last month instead of the automatic one-match ban for a sending off.
