Wigan to appeal against Hall ban

Updated 14.57 Thu Feb 22 2007

Wigan will appeal against the red card shown to Fitz Hall during the 1-1 draw at Watford.

The defender was sent off for a lunging tackle on Yohann Cavalli but Latics officials believe they have a case.

Hall is facing a three-match ban

Hall is facing a three-match ban unless Wigan win the appeal.

They have to submit their objection to the FA within 48 hours. A decision would not be expected until Monday, so Hall will be able to play against Newcastle on Sunday.
