England prop Joe Marler has found himself in trouble again after being cited for foul play during Harlequins’ 30-6 defeat of Grenoble in the European Challenge Cup semi-final.
Marler was reported after appearing to kick Grenoble hooker Arnaud Heguy while he was on the ground in the 26th minute of a game on April 22nd.
It was his first game since serving a two-match ban for calling Wales forward Samson Lee “Gypsy boy” in the Six Nations.
The 25-year-old could face a four-week ban if found guilty by European Professional Club Rugby.
Marler’s England teammate Owen Farrell was also cited for an alleged dangerous tackle on Wasps’ scrumhalf Dan Robson while playing for Saracens in the European Champions Cup semi-final at the weekend.
Outhalf Farrell was sent to the sin bin for the tackle, which led to Robson being taken off on a stretcher with a head injury. Saracens won the game 24-17.
The dates of the disciplinary hearings for Farrell and Marler have not been announced.
