European Rugby Cup have confirmed that Julien Dupuy's appeal against a 24-week ban for eye gouging will be heard in Heathrow next Wednesday.
The Stade Francais scrum-half was handed the ban last month for gouging Ulster flanker Stephen Ferris.
He apologised for the incident, but chose to appeal the suspension which was branded "excessive, very political and anti-French" by Stade owner Max Guazzini.
Dupuy's team-mate David Attoub will also appear at a hearing later the same day after his initial hearing was adjourned so that more evidence could be considered.
The prop was involved in the same incident during Stade's 23-13 Heineken Cup defeat at Ravenhill on December 12.
