Tottenham’s Dele Alli has been suspended for three European club matches after he was sent off against Gent last month, Uefa has announced.

Alli received a straight red card for his reckless tackle on Gent’s Brecht Dejaegere, in which the 20-year-old speared his right boot high into Dejaegere’s shin.

The ban will relate to any European club matches, meaning Alli will miss the first three games of next season’s Champions League if Spurs qualify for the tournament again.

Should Spurs finish in the Premier League’s top three and qualify automatically for the group stage, the midfielder will miss half the group matches.

Mauricio Pochettino’s team failed to progress in this season’s Champions League, crashing out in the group stage before losing to Gent in the last 32 of the Europa League.

Alli said he felt “horrible” after his challenge on Dejaegere, which all but cost Tottenham their place in the competition.

It was the first straight red card of his career but he received a retrospective three-match ban at the end of last season for punching West Brom’s Claudio Yacob in the stomach.

Meanwhile Arsenal have been fined €5,000 (£4,300) by Uefa for a pitch invasion during their 5-1 home Champions League defeat by Bayern Munich. One supporter made his way on to the pitch before being apprehended by stewards.

Bayern were fined €3,000 after their fans threw till rolls on to the pitch in the opening minutes in protest at the ticket prices at Arsenal, causing a delay.
