London Irish centre Shontayne Hape has been cited for an alleged dangerous tackle during his side's Heineken Cup defeat to Edinburgh on Saturday.
Irish were beaten 20-19 by their Scottish opponents at the Madjeski Stadium in their opening Pool Two game.
Citing commissioner Yves Thieffine has reported Hape for an alleged infringement on Edinburgh back row David Denton during the first half.
Hape's case will be heard on Thursday at European Rugby Cup's base in Dublin.
Edinburgh's Sean Cox, who had a running battle with Hape for much of the game, was also cited.
Cox is alleged to have struck Hape in the second half during a fractious clash on the opening weekend of European action.
Hape could become the second London Irish player to be banned with fellow England back Delon Armitage currently serving a five-week suspension.
The Exiles next face Cardiff Blues in Wales on Friday.
