Kyle Walker has been slapped with a three-match Champions League ban for 'assault' in a blow to Manchester City ahead of the knockout stages.
The right back saw red for petulantly kicking out at RB Leipzig striker Andre Silva late on during City's 2-1 dead-rubber defeat in Germany at the start of December.
UEFA's disciplinary board met on Tuesday and handed Walker a suspension that takes in both of the last-16 legs against Sporting Lisbon.


The 31-year-old also misses the first leg of a potential quarter-final should they overcome the Portuguese champions.
