Chelsea defender Marcos Alonso has been given a three-match ban for violent conduct after a tackle on Shane Long in Saturday's 3-2 win at Southampton.
He will miss Sunday's FA Cup semi-final against the same opponents at Wembley, plus Premier League matches at Burnley on Thursday and Swansea on 28 April.
The Spaniard denied the charge and said such a suspension would be excessive.
But this was rejected after an independent regulatory commission hearing on Wednesday.
The FA took retrospective action after officials, including referee Mike Dean, failed to see the incident.
