Arsenal's appeal against the red card shown to defender Thomas Vermaelen in Saturday's win against West Ham was rejected by a disciplinary commission on Tuesday, the Football Association announced.

Vermaelen will now serve an immediate one-game suspension, meaning he will miss Saturday's trip to Birmingham City.

The Belgian was sent off shortly before half-time at the Emirates Stadium for bringing down the Hammers' Guillermo Franco inside the penalty area.

Arsenal were leading 1-0 at the time and went on to win the Premier League match 2-0, with West Ham's Alessandro Diamanti missing the penalty which followed Vermaelen's red card.

An FA statement issued Tuesday said: "At a regulatory commission hearing today, a claim for wrongful dismissal from Arsenal defender Thomas Vermaelen was dismissed.

"Vermaelen was shown a red card for denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity during Arsenal's match against West Ham United on Saturday 20 March.

"He will now serve a one match suspension with immediate effect."

Arsenal's victory over West Ham left them second in the table, two points behind leaders and reigning champions Manchester United.
