Bayern Munich forward Thomas Mueller has been banned for both games against Liverpool in the Champions League round of 16.
UEFA says its disciplinary panel imposed a two-game ban for Mueller's red card after a bad tackle against Ajax last month.
The panel added one more game to the mandatory one-match ban for a straight red card.

Bayern plays at Liverpool on February 19 and hosts the second leg on March 13.
The Bundesliga club and Mueller have appealed the decision by the ethics and disciplinary body of the European football organisation.
Ajax's Maximilian Woeber also misses the round of 16 games - against Real Madrid - for his red card in a separate incident during his team's 3-3 draw with Bayern in the final group-stage game.
