Duhan van der Merwe will miss Scotland's final Six Nations matches with Italy and Ireland after his red card for Worcester resulted in a ban.
The 26-year-old wing got a three-week suspension "for reckless or dangerous play" on London Irish's Kyle Rowe.
However, Van der Merwe is free to play for Worcester against Gloucester on 25 March "subject to completing the World Rugby Coaching Intervention programme".
Scotland go to Rome to play Italy on Saturday, then meet Ireland in Dublin.
British and Irish Lion Van der Merwe scored his 10th try on his 16th Scotland appearance as France left Murrayfield with victory on matchday three.
Jonny Gray, Adam Hastings, Ross Thompson and Glen Young were added to the Scotland squad after Nick Haining, Oli Kebble, Rufus McLean, Ollie Smith and Marshall Sykes were ruled out through injury.
The Scots won their opening match in this year's championship against England before the defeats by Wales and the French.
