Worcester flanker Alafoti Faosiliva will face an RFU disciplinary panel on Wednesday.
Fa'osiliva has been charged with striking with the arm and/or elbow, contrary to law 10.4(a).
The 30-year-old was sent off by referee Luke Pearce in Friday's Aviva Premiership match against Gloucester for allegedly striking Mariano Galarza with his arm and/or elbow.
The incident occurred in the second half of the game and was referred to the TMO for review before the back rower was red carded.
Fa'osiliva will appear before a three-person RFU discipline panel chaired by Dan White (chairman), John Brennan and Tony Wheat in Coventry on Wednesday evening.
