West Bromwich Albion boss Roberto Di Matteo is waiting to talk to Scott Carson before deciding whether to take further action against the goalkeeper for his sending-off against Cardiff City.

Carson is facing a three-match ban for allegedly aiming a headbutt at Bluebirds striker Michael Chopra eight minutes from time in the 2-0 home defeat for the Baggies.

Di Matteo told the Express & Star: "I did not see what happened because the game was developing in the middle of the pitch.

"I need to see what happened before I have a conversation with him. It's too early to decide about discipline. We need to find out exactly what happened.

"Hypothetically we would take action if someone has deliberately head-butted someone, but I don't know if Chopra said something to him for him to react.

"I will have to have a word with Scott and I'm sure he will apologise."
