Winger Immanuel Feyi-Waboso will miss England’s next two matches after he was sent off against a France XV on Saturday.
Feyi-Waboso, who returned to the international scene after missing the Six Nations due to a shoulder injury, was sent from the field after striking Antoine Hastoy in the head with a swinging arm during a tackle.
The 22-year-old will miss the two-Test series in Argentina in July.
World Rugby said “Feyi-Waboso’s actions were contrary to Law 9.13 [dangerous tackle], and carried a high degree of danger.”
Feyi-Waboso will be required to complete World Rugby’s coaching intervention programme — also known as “tackle school.”
He will then be available for England’s clash with the United States on July 19 in Washington D.C.
France lock Cameron Woki, who was sent off in the same game for an illegal clearout, will have his hearing on Tuesday.
