Arsenal's Gervinho has had his three match suspension for violent conduct confirmed on the official FA website. The player was sent off during Arsenal's fixture against Newcastle United at St James' Park on Saturday.
Arsenal subsequently lodged a claim that the standard punishment of three matches was clearly excessive.
A commission heard the claim on Tuesday and dismissed it, meaning the player must serve a three match suspension with immediate effect.
