The Football Association refused to shorten the three-legged suspension for Liverpool striker Sadio Manet.

The FA left in force a three-legged suspension for Liverpool striker Sadio Manet, who kicked in the face of the goalkeeper Manchester City Ederson.

In Liverpool, it was felt that the three disqualification matches would be too serious a punishment for the Senegalese, so they filed an appeal in the hope of shortening the term.

Nevertheless, the FA Commission disagreed with the arguments of the Merseyside and rejected the appeal.

Thus, Manet will not help Liverpool in the Premier League home game against Burnley, as well as in two away matches with Leicester - in the League Cup and Premier League.

In the current season Manet spent four games in Liverpool in the Premier League, which scored three goals.
