Bournemouth midfielder Harry Arter hopes Tottenham's Moussa Sissoko avoids a ban for elbowing him in the face during their goalless draw on Saturday.
Sissoko struck Arter in the second half at the Vitality Stadium but, after consulting his linesman, referee Craig Pawson decided against any further punishment.
The Frenchman could, however, still face a three-match suspension for violent conduct if the FA choose to take retrospective action.
Arter reacted angrily immediately after the incident as both sets of players clashed on the pitch but later the 26-year-old was more sympathetic.
