Both Liverpool and West Ham have appealed against the red cards and Jamie Carragher is hoping the FA can show a bit of common sense.
"To be honest a lot of the players ran over and got involved but I was a bit far away from the incident and from what I saw I just assumed the referee would show them a yellow card each. Hopefully, when the referee has another look at it this will be the case," Carragher told Liverpool's official website.
"If he stands by his decision then the FA could get involved. It's a very strange situation that probably won't happen again, where two teams who are due to meet in the final have a player each sent off. It's not even like one is a reserve player and one is a first team player. Both are expected to be in the first eleven and neither team gain an advantage or suffer a disadvantage.
"Maybe if the FA get involved a compromise can be reached and the ban can be changed so they miss the two remaining league games this season and the first game of the next season. I'm sure everyone would pat the FA on the back if they could sort it out this way.
"It's a shame for both players because if the referee does stick to his decision then they may never get another chance to play in a FA Cup Final. I know the West Ham lad quite well, from playing alongside him in the England under-21s, and he was in tears afterwards. Luis was devastated too and really subdued when going down the tunnel, as you'd expect.
"Hopefully, it will turn out right. Both would probably be in the first eleven for Cardiff and I'm sure both managers want them available for selection.
"From our perspective it would be a big blow to lose Garcia for the final. He's a big game player. Whenever we play a big game he seems to produce the goods. One piece of magic can win you a game and the FA Cup Final is a massive game."
