Farrell faced a disciplinary hearing on Tuesday night after his shoulder made contact with the head of Jack Clement in the 75th minute of Saracens' Gallagher Premiership victory over Gloucester on Friday.
Although the four-match suspension would prevent him from running out at Twickenham in Steve Borthwick's first match in charge, it will be reduced to three games if he completes World Rugbys coaching intervention programme.
By doing so, the England captain will be able to resume playing after Saracens' Premiership clash with Bristol on January 28.
