Alexis Mac Allister was dismissed by referee Thomas Bramall after catching Bournemouth's Ryan Christie with a high boot in the 58th minute at Anfield.
It was a dubious decision that ruined Mac Allister's home debut for the club after the Argentina midfielder's close-season move from Brighton.
Liverpool still managed to secure their first Premier League win this term as goals from Luis Diaz, Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota cancelled out Antoine Semenyo's third-minute opener. But Klopp was frustrated with Mac Allister's dismissal and could try to get it overturned.
"VAR would not overturn it because contact means it's not a clear and obvious mistake. Now the punishment, 40 minutes with 10 men is already punishment enough. But let's see, we have to talk to the authorities," he said at the post-match press conference.
According to several reports in England, the Reds have already appealed the midfielder's red card and will await a ruling in the coming weeks. Otherwise, if the appeal is not upheld, Mac Allister will miss the next three English top flight matches.
