Toby Flood has been cited for carrying out a dangerous tackle during Leicester Tigers' win over Worcester Warriors on Friday.
The fly-half is alleged to have committed a tip tackle on Andy Goode.
If found guilty of the offence, the 27-year-old could receive a ban, which could keep him out of England's opening Six Nations match against Scotland on February 2.
Flood missed England's last Test against New Zealand last month with a toe injury.
