The Germany international was sent off in Bayern’s final Group E game - a 3-3 draw at Ajax last month - after a dangerous high challenge on Nicolas Tagliafico, which saw him catch his opponent with a boot to the head.

Muller was shown a straight red card for his foul and Bayern will be forced to take on Jurgen Klopp’s men without him after UEFA confirmed the suspension on Friday.

The first leg of the tie takes place at Anfield on February 19 before the return at the Allianz Arena on March 13.
