 Vickery has already served a two-match ban this season |
England captain Phil Vickery has been suspended until 25 December after pleading guilty to trampling on Clermont Auvergne lock Thibault Privat. The Wasps prop was cited for the incident on 8 December and handed a two-week ban on Wednesday.
The suspension was back-dated to 12 December when Wasps opted to omit Vickery for Saturday's Heineken Cup return tie against Clermont Auvergne.
He will now miss this Saturday's Guinness Premiership trip to Bristol.
Vickery will be clear to play in Wasps' home league game against Bath on 29 December.

Vickery, who has only played twice for Wasps since returning from the World Cup, was banned for two games during the tournament for tripping USA centre Paul Emerick.
He missed two pool matches before returning to lead England to the final where they lost to South Africa.
Wasps also opted not to select Rob Hoadley for Saturday's match.
The centre was sent off for punching during an A team game against London Irish.
