Scotland international Darren Fletcher will miss the Champions League final after Uefa rejected an appeal against his red card in the semi final against Arsenal.

The 25-year-old received his marching orders in United's 3-1 second leg win at the Emirates Stadium after Italian referee Roberto Rosetti deemed that Fletcher had fouled the goalbound Cesc Fabregas.

Video replays suggested Fletcher had won the ball but Uefa have stood firm about there being no right of appeal unless the referee had made an error in identifying the player.

Barcelona duo Eric Abidal and Dani Alves will also miss the final after Uefa turned down their appeals.

A Uefa statement read: "The Uefa control and disciplinary body rejected the protests of Manchester United FC regarding the suspension of Darren Fletcher, and FC Barcelona regarding the suspension of Eric Abidal and the yellow card of Daniel Alves.

"The control and disciplinary body decided not to admit the protest submitted by Manchester United in relation to midfielder Darren Fletcher's red card in the UEFA Champions League semi-final second leg against Arsenal FC.

"Similarly the control and disciplinary body did not admit Barcelona's protest against the red card of Eric Abidal and the caution of fellow defender Daniel Alves in the semi-final second leg against Chelsea FC.

"All three players are therefore suspended for one Uefa club competition match and will serve their bans when Barcelona meet Manchester United in the Champions League final in Rome on May 27."
