The Wigan forward Callum McManaman has escaped retrospective action from England's Football Association over his challenge on Newcastle defender Massadio Haidara on Monday.
Haidara was taken off on a stretcher in Wigan's 2-1 win, but the FA cannot take "retrospective action" as an official saw the incident take place.
The governing body says it does not wish to "re-referee" matches.
Newcastle will contact the FA and the Premier League to ask for a change in the way such matters are handled.
