The French League's disciplinary commission will examine the incident between Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Leonardo and referee Alexandre Castro.
Leonardo appeared to deliberately shoulder-barge Castro in the tunnel after PSG's 1-1 home draw against Valenciennes last Sunday.
The Brazilian denies the allegation, saying "It's the delegate in front of me who blocked my path. It's him who pushed me into the referee."
Leonardo adds, "I don't touch the referee with my shoulder but with my back. Because I was pushed. It is me who was assaulted."
The delegate says, "I didn't barge into or touch Leonardo at any time."
Leonardo risks a year's suspension. PSG, which is closing in on its first title since 1994, could have points deducted.
PSG is seven points ahead of Marseille with three matches remaining.
