Bolton Wanderers will appeal Ricardo Almeida Santos' red card in the draw against Morecambe if the Whites feel a 'clear and obvious' error has been made.
Wanderers came from behind over the weekend to claim a point against the Shrimps in a 1-1 draw at the Mazuma Stadium.
Cole Stockton put the hosts ahead from open play after having his penalty saved by James Trafford as Bolton captain Santos was shown a straight red card for a handball in the box.

But Wanderers rallied and during 10 extra minutes of play, substitute Amadou Bakayoko struck to earn Bolton a share of the spoils.
Speaking after the game, Evatt said his captain walked off with a ball mark on his chest and shoulder and believes it was a decision the officials may not have got right.
Evatt confirmed Wanderers will appeal the decision if they believe it could be overturned, while he also explained why midfielder Kieran Lee was withdrawn at half-time of the encounter.
He said: “I have to see the footage and if it’s clear and obvious, which we think it is, then of course we will.
“He’s (Lee) had a bit of a sore heel but today the game wasn’t suited to Kieran (Lee) or Kieran Sadlier, our technical players.
"It was just a day for rolling up our sleeves and doing as best as we can.”
The League One clash at the Mazuma Stadium was marred after being suspended for 10 minutes by referee Ross Joyce following an alleged racist comment directed towards the Bolton bench from the crowd and the players were called off the pitch as full-time approached.
Lancashire police have launched an investigation into the alleged racist abuse, while Wandererers have condemned the off the pitch issues experienced at the Mazuma Stadium, with the Shrimps vowing to work with relevant authorities to help investigate matters.
It has led to the arrest of a 61-year-old man from Morecambe on suspicion of racially aggravated public order and he remains in custody as of Sunday, February 6.
Evatt praised the Morecambe club staff and players for their conduct over the unsavoury issue, but believes the game needs to come together to stamp out racist abuse as he expressed pleasure in how his squad reacted to the 'emotionally upsetting' episode.
He said: “I must say that their staff and their players were first class and when this happens, we all come together as one. The game should come together as one to stamp this out and that’s what happened today.
“For me, the racist remark was the worst of all remarks, but there was 89 minutes of complete abuse from minute one and it’s like it’s accepted to call us names, like it’s accepted to personally attack us.
"It’s not acceptable, it’s not, and whether you’re in front of someone or whether you’re on social media, it’s not acceptable. We are human beings like everybody else.
"We have feelings, we have emotions, and we don’t deserve it. I certainly don’t deserve it and nor do my players. We’re a human race, we’re together and I just don’t understand it.
"There’s competition, of course there is, there’s club against club, of course there is, but it has to be done in the right way. Today it wasn’t done in the right way and it’s emotionally upsetting and it’s caused us some distress, but for now I’m really pleased with my players and the way they reacted.”
