UEFA’s disciplinary body confirmed Monday that Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher will miss the Champion’s League final on May 27 along with Barcelona’s Eric Abidal and defender Daniel Alves.
European football’s governing body said in a statement that the body rejected protests by both clubs against the suspensions.
“All three players are therefore suspended for one UEFA club competition match and will serve their suspensions when Barcelona FC meet Manchester United FC in the UEFA Champions League final in Rome on 27 May,” it added.
Fletcher was suspended for the final against Barcelona after collecting a red card in United’s semi-final victory against Arsenal last week.
Abidal also received a red card during the Spanish side’s semi-final against Chelsea, while Alves collected a yellow card in his second match in the Champion’s League.
