All red-card offenses in UEFA matches are reviewed to possibly extend mandatory one-match bans.
Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho said Ibrahimovic had no ill intent and should be cleared to play in the quarter-finals next month.
Ibrahimovic was sent off for a late challenge on Oscar in the first half of the last-16, second-leg match on Wednesday when the match was scoreless.
PSG twice leveled to draw 2-2 after extra time and advance on the away goals rule, 3-3 on aggregate.
