(Reuters) - Liverpool will appeal the length of Sadio Mane's three-match ban after he was sent off during last Saturday's 5-0 defeat by Manchester City, according to multiple British media reports. Liverpool will not appeal the 25-year-old's dismissal but believe a three-match ban is too harsh for the incident. If successful, the ban could be reduced by one or two games. The English Football Association (FA) have been informed of the Merseyside club's appeal and an independent regulatory commission will hear the case later on Tuesday, provided they receive all the evidence in advance, according to The Times.
