Leigh forward Jamie Acton has been charged with a grade A dangerous tackle during his side's 20-0 Betfred Super League defeat at Wigan.
Acton does not have the option of submitting an early-guilty plea and so will face a Rugby Football League independent disciplinary tribunal in Leeds on Tuesday.
He was the only player to be charged by the RFL's match review panel from the weekend's Super League matches, although team-mate Willie Tonga was given a caution.
England stand-off George Williams was the catalyst as Wigan saw off Leigh in an attritional derby at the DW Stadium on Friday night.
