Liverpool winger Lazar Markovic has been handed a four-game ban from European football following his red card against Basel in December. Markovic has been given an extra game on top of the normal three-match ban for violent conduct because he was sent off playing for Benfica in a Europa League match last May.
The Reds opted not to appeal Uefa's decision and the 20 year old will miss both legs of the last-32 Europa League clash against Besiktas, the first of which is at Anfield on Thursday, as well as the home and away last-16 matches should the Reds progress.
Markovic responded to the ban on Twitter with the simple message "4?" accompanied by a picture of himself looking unimpressed.
