Ivan Klasnic is likely to be fined for his red card during Bolton Wanderers' loss to Norwich City, according to manager Owen Coyle.

Bolton Wanderers manager Owen Coyle has confirmed that Ivan Klasnic's ill-discipline during Saturday's 2-1 home loss to Norwich City will result in a fine for the striker.

The Croatian international was handed a red card at the Reebok Stadium shortly before half-time following a clash with Canaries full-back Marc Tierney.

With Wanderers 2-0 at the time of the incident, Coyle believes that 31-year-old's dismissal hampered his side's chances of taking a share of the spoils.

"Will I fine him? He certainly knows my feelings on the subject," Coyle told a press conference.

"That is when you have to use your experience, because going down to 10 men when you are already 2-0 behind is not exactly ideal.

"He is full of remorse, but the bottom line is, you've got to keep your full personnel on the pitch. It is tough enough in this league as it is."

Klasnic is now set to miss Bolton's next three fixtures.
