David Luiz would miss Arsenal’s competition against Aston Villa after the FA dismissed the Gunners’ appeal against his sending off against Wolves.
Arsenal has lost Tuesday’s 2-1 Premier League against Wolves as David Luiz got in to reverse the red card.
An Arsenal statement read: “The Football Association have confirmed to us that the red card given to David Luiz on Tuesday against Wolverhampton Wanderers will stand.
“We have worked really hard to overturn David Luiz’s red card. We presented our case to the FA but are disappointed that our appeal has been unsuccessful.”
“We accept the FA’s decision and continue our preparations for Saturday’s match against Aston Villa.”
