Eddy Pettybourne will miss Wigan's First Utility Super League match against Wakefield on Sunday after submitting an early guilty plea to a high tackle in the World Club Challenge.
The United States second-rower, a summer arrival from Wests Tigers, was put on report for the late and high shot on Sydney Roosters winger Shaun Kenny-Dowall during Wigan's 36-14 defeat at the Sydney Football Stadium on Saturday.
Pettybourne, who missed the second half with a bicep injury, was charged by a World Club Challenge match review panel comprising the Rugby Football League's Steve Ganson and Michael Buettner, of the NRL, with a grade B offence.
That carried a ban of one or two matches and, because Pettybourne was eligible to make an early guilty plea, he received the lesser punishment.
Wildcats centre Dean Collis is another who will miss the DW Stadium encounter after also submitting an early plea for making dangerous contact with Bradford stand-off Lee Gaskell in the first minute of the match between Bradford and Wakefield.
Gaskell is facing a lay-off of up to 12 weeks after damaging his knee ligaments in the collision with Collis. Four other players were charged by the Rugby Football League's match-review panel with foul play in round two of the First Utility Super League at the weekend.
London Broncos hooker Scott Moore is accused of a grade D offence of making dangerous contact with Salford prop Darrell Griffin during his side's 44-18 defeat by the Red Devils.
Catalan Dragons prop Julian Bousquet, who served a four-match ban last season, could be facing another lengthy lay-off after being charged with a grade D dangerous tackle on Castleford full-back Jordan Tansey in his side's 32-6 defeat on Sunday.
Bousquet will appear in front of the RFL's disciplinary committee on Tuesday, along with Moore and Hull KR prop Justin Poore and Huddersfield centre Joe Wardle, who were both cited for punching during a brawl in the game at the John Smith's Stadium on Sunday.
Poore, who was sin-binned along with Huddersfield second rower Jason Chan for his part in the fighting, is charged with a grade B offence while Wardle, who was sin-binned in the same match for a separate incident, is facing a grade A charge.
