The Football Association will tomorrow review television footage of Javier Mascherano's controversial red card at Old Trafford and also study the report of referee Steve Bennett before deciding whether to charge the Liverpool midfielder.
Argentina international Mascherano was sent-off for picking up two cautions during the Barclays Premier League game against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday - the second for dissent towards the match official.
Bennett's report is understood to make a point of mentioning the time it took an angry Mascherano to leave the pitch.
A decision from the FA is expected tomorrow afternoon, which is likely to result in a charge and could lead to an extended ban for the player.
