UEFA have banned Arsenal striker Eduardo for two Champions League matches for diving to earn a penalty during last week's qualifying match against Glasgow Celtic.
The Europe's governing body said the Croatian forward deceived the referee when he got the penalty decision after a challenge by Celtic goalkeeper Artur Boruc.
Eduardo scored from the spot kick and Arsenal won the match 3-1, progressing to the group stage 5-1 on aggregate.
Arsenal and Eduardo have three days to lodge an appeal against the decision.
Should the ban stand, Eduardo will miss the Gunners' matches away at Standard Liège on September 16 and the Emirates showdown with Olympiakos on September 29.
