England and Northampton hooker Dylan Hartley will face a Rugby Football Union disciplinary hearing on Wednesday after being cited for foul play.
The RFU said that Hartley will appear before a three-man disciplinary panel in Coventry after he was reported for striking an opponent with his head during last Saturday's Aviva Premiership play-off game between Northampton and Saracens.
Saints skipper Hartley, who has an appalling disciplinary record, could be in danger of missing the World Cup if he is banned.
