Trippier served less than two weeks of the 10-week ban when FIFA paused the global extension of his punishment following an appeal by Atletico.
The sanction was imposed for Trippier giving information to friends on his transfer from Tottenham to the Spanish capital in 2019 which he knew they were using for betting. The ban runs through until February 28.
The FA asked its own independent regulatory commission to revise the dates of the suspension until FIFA decided on whether the suspension should apply beyond England.
But the FA said on Thursday the appeal had been rejected, meaning the punishment expires on February 28 even if the FIFA part of the case is still ongoing and Trippier misses no more games.
The FA commission concluded Trippier was entitled to think 'these long drawn-out proceedings had been finalised and that as from the end of February 2021 he could begin a new chapter,' and that changing the dates of the suspension would create uncertainty for the player.
The decision also means if Trippier was to return to play in England in the transfer window that runs through until February 1, the ban will have been considered to still be running since December 21.
Therefore, any move to England - and more specifically, Manchester United - now appears to be extremely unlikely given he would be banned for the first month.
'We accept that the suspension is probably having a deleterious effect upon [Trippier's] transfer prospects,' the FA said.
'There is a very real benefit to football worldwide,' the FA commission said, 'in resolving as quickly as possible whether it is open to clubs to intervene as [Atletico Madrid] has done in this case in the absence of its player's consent and, indeed, against his wishes when such intervention might be viewed as frustrating the outcome of national disciplinary processes and the ability of FIFA to give effect to those outcomes worldwide.'
