JACK Hughes will be forced to miss Warrington Wolves' clash with Huddersfield Giants next Monday.
The Wire skipper has been hit with a Grade B charge of dangerous contact by the RFL's Match Review Panel, which carries a one-game suspension.
The charge stems from an incident in the 51st minute of Friday's Challenge Cup quarter final win over Catalans Dragons.
The MRP minutes say Hughes "makes contact with an opponent after the ball has been released by an opponent in a vulnerable position which causes excessive flexion to the head, neck or spinal column on an attacking player, which poses an unacceptable risk of injury to that player."
Meanwhile, Dragons forward Gil Dudson will also serve a one-game ban for the incident which saw him sin-binned in the early stages of the match.
Charges have also been issued to Castleford Tigers prop Liam Watts (Grade B dangerous contact, 1-match penalty notice) and Wigan second rower Liam Farrell (Grade A high tackle, 0-match penalty notice)
