Tripper was fined £70,000 by the Football Association and suspended for 10 weeks from all football and football activity for four breaches of a rule which prevents players from providing information to others on their position which is not available in public at the time.
The offences are understood to have taken place in July 2019 around the time that the full-back moved to Atletico from Tottenham for a fee in the region of £20m. The 30-year-old has denied the charges levelled against him.
The England international right-back will miss at least 14 matches for Atletico, who are top of La Liga and challenging for their first Spanish title since 2014 and have reached the last 16 of the Champions League, where they will face Chelsea.
"We think it's unfair and we hope it can be revised because of the damage done to Atletico," Simeone said ahead of Atletico's league clash with Getafe on Wednesday, the first game Trippier will miss.
"Atletico obviously have absolutely nothing to do with this situation so we hope it can be re-assessed in some way, because while the FA benefits from this, Atletico is harmed by it and has nothing to do with it.
"But the circumstances are what they are and we'll have to live with it."
Trippier, who is in his second season with Atletico, has played every minute of their 19 games in La Liga and the Champions League.
Following Trippier's punishment, Atletico look set to launch a bold January bid for Arsenal's Ainsley Maitland-Niles, whose progress they have been monitoring for the past 12 months.
Croatian full-back Sime Vrsaljko is set to take Trippier's place in the team, having only played 14 minutes of first-team football this season as a substitute in a recent Copa del Rey victory over minnows Cardassar.
