Wigan forward Ethan Havard will miss Saturday’s Challenge Cup semi-final against St Helens after being given a retrospective ban.
Following a meeting of the Match Review Panel, Harvard was punished for head contact in the 38-14 win over Bradford Bulls on Saturday.
The offence resulted in a Grade B charge and three penalty points on his record, taking his total to 6.5, just over the threshold for a ban.
Havard has featured in all but one of Wigan’s 10 Super League matches this season.
Meanwhile, Bradford’s Mitchell Soutar has been handed a two-match ban for a dangerous lift in the same match. His points total instantly jumped to 12.
Wigan are currently fifth in the Super League table, four points adrift of leaders Leeds Rhinos, while the Bulls are 11th on six points.
