Padraig Hampsey, Michael McKernan, Peter Harte and Kieran McGeary are set to miss Tyrone's National League meeting with Kildare this weekend.
The Red Hands' tie with Armagh in round two of the Allianz Football League ended in chaos, as referee David Gough red-carded the four Tyrone players, along with the Orchard County's Greg McCabe, following a melee in injury-time.

BBC is reporting that the four players were each handed a one-match ban on Monday night.
Tyrone joint-manager Feargal Logan had indicated that they would be appealing any sanctions, but it now appears that they will be upheld.
The All-Ireland champions and the Lilywhites will face off on Sunday afternoon, with both sides only managing a single point from their opening two games.
