Bayern Munich are appealing Franck Ribery’s three-match ban which would see him miss next month’s Champions League final, UEFA confirmed on Thursday.
The Frenchman was shown a straight red card for treading on the foot of Lyon striker Lisandro Lopez in the first-leg semi-final last Wednesday, which Bayern won 1-0 in Munich.
He then missed Tuesday’s 3-0 second-leg win while serving part of the ban.
UEFA’s decision means he will miss the final in Madrid on May 22, against Italian side Inter Milan.
The appeal date has not yet been fixed.
