Tigers ruckman Ivan Soldo will miss this Saturday's Dreamtime at the 'G clash with Essendon after his one-match suspension was upheld by the AFL Tribunal.

The 23-year old was given a week by match review officer Michael Christian for hitting Hawthorn's James Worpel behind the play in last Sunday's contest.

Soldo will be free to return in next week's Round 11 clash with North Melbourne.
