Mascherano was banned for one match after being shown two yellow cards by referee Steve Bennett at Old Trafford.

But the Argentinian has been banned for a further two games after he continued to protest after being shown the red card by the official.

Mascherano admitted a charge of improper conduct and has been punished further by the FA, with the additional suspension coming into effect immediately.

Mascherano - who missed the derby victory over Everton as a result of the dismissal - will now also miss this weekend's clash with Arsenal and the home game with Blackburn on April 13

Following the announcement Liverpool confirmed that they will consider their options before deciding whether to appeal the decision.

A club spokesman told www.liverpoolfc.tv: "Although we received a fair hearing we must now decide whether to appeal on the basis of inconsistency of sentencing for Javier based on past precedents."
