Owen Farrell will miss Saracens' Champions Cup quarter-final against Leinster after being given a five-game ban for a dangerous tackle on Wasps' Charlie Atkinson.
The England captain, 28, faced an online disciplinary hearing on Tuesday night to answer for the first red card of his career after being sent off on the hour mark of the Gallagher Premiership defeat at Allianz Park.
Farrell was dismissed for a high and reckless tackle on 18-year-old replacement full-back Atkinson, who was knocked out and will not train for at last two weeks because of concussion protocols.
