Hearts defender Alex Cochrane could be banned for two matches following his red card in the Spanish friendly that was abandoned after a brawl with UD Almeria.
The Tynecastle club are sweating on whether match official Javier Sánchez Carreras contacts the Spanish Football Federation to confirm the sending offs he dished out to left back Cochrane and Almeria's Rodrigo Ely just before half time in Sunday's clash on the Costa de Sol.
If the Spanish authorities are notified, they will contact the Scottish FA who would be forced to hand out a two game ban for violent conduct - meaning Cochrane would miss the matches against Kilmarnock and Dundee United when the Premiership resumes after the World Cup break.
