Liverpool have lost their appeal over the length of Sadio Mane’s three-match ban after he was sent off in Saturday’s 5-0 defeat at Manchester City.<\/p>\n
Mane was dismissed in the 37th minute after catching City goalkeeper Ederson in the face with a high foot.<\/p>\n
He will now miss Premier League matches against Burnley and Leicester, as well as a trip to the latter in the EFL Cup.<\/p>\n
The excessive punishment claim was rejected following an independent regulatory commission hearing.<\/p>\n
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said on Saturday that neither he nor City counterpart Pep Guardiola thought Mane should have been sent off.<\/p>\n
Match of the Day pundits Alan Shearer, Gary Lineker and Ian Wright all said they would have gone for the ball, while Chris Sutton told Match of the Day 2 that Mane’s red card should be rescinded.<\/p>\n
However, Shearer said it was still a red card under the current rules. Former England internationals Jamie Carragher and Phil Neville were also among those to say referee Jon Moss was right to dismiss Mane.<\/p>\n
Ederson trained on Tuesday as City prepare for their opening Champions League group game against Feyenoord on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
