Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger will serve a two-match Champions League suspension after his appeal against the punishment was rejected by UEFA.
The Frenchman was initially given the suspension in the wake of the Gunners' play-off first leg at home to Udinese on August 16.
However, the club appealed and the sanction was postponed but European football's governing body have reinstated it after turning down the appeal.
Arsenal were also fined 10,000 euros (£8,700) for improper conduct of their officials.
Wenger will now be suspended for next two UEFA competition matches - the UEFA Champions League group stage games against Borussia Dortmund and Olympiacos.
