CARLTON midfielder Adam Cerra is challenging his one-match ban for a dangerous tackle on Friday night.

The Blues confirmed on Monday they would fight the suspension, one of two handed down from their loss to Sydney, with Luke Parker also fighting a one-game ban.

The two tackles, which came in the third quarter of the Swans' 26-point win over the Blues at the SCG, were graded as careless conduct, medium impact and high contact.

After Patrick Cripps (ankle), George Hewett (concussion), Nic Newman (hamstring) and Oliver Hollands (shoulder) all suffered injuries, Cerra's absence would be another blow for the struggling Blues.

Carlton faces Narrm at the MCG on Friday night in round 12.

Cerra was again busy during the Blues' sixth loss in seven games, with 24 disposals, seven tackles and five clearances.

The Swans have a bye, but they are also challenging Parker's ban.
