Leeds United have failed with an appeal to have Pascal Struijk's red card overturned.
Struijk's red card for his tackle on Liverpool midfielder Harvey Elliott has been upheld, after Leeds' appeal against the decision was unsuccessful.
The Liverpool midfielder was left with a dislocated ankle after the challenge and underwent surgery on Tuesday.
The incident took place in the second half of Liverpool's 2-0 win over Leeds at Elland Road. Struijk slid in from behind and hooked the ball away as Elliott was dribbling, but in doing so the Leeds man trapped the teenager's ankle under his left leg.
A foul was not given, but play was quickly stopped as Mo Salah realised the severity of the situation and signalled for the physios to run on.
