Alex Lozowski has been hit with two citings following Saracens' 13-3 Champions Cup win over Glasgow on Sunday.

If either of the charges against Lozowski are upheld, his participation in England's autumn internationals could be in doubt.

The utility back has been brought before a disciplinary panel over an alleged dangerous entry into a ruck, and a possible dangerous tackle on Glasgow full-back Ruaridh Jackson.

Lozowski will appear before a disciplinary panel on Tuesday night.

The first England match that Lozowski could miss is against South Africa at Twickenham in less than three weeks' time, meaning a ban of that length would keep him out of Eddie Jones' squad.

Lozowski was named in the England training squad last month, but chances to impress Jones before next summer's World Cup are limited.
