The 25-year-old was charged by Derbyshire Police alongside his Derby team mate Mason Bennett following a collision on Sept. 24 as the Championship club's skipper Richard Keogh sustained a knee injury that ruled him out for the season.

Lawrence played in the second-tier club's 2-2 draw against Barnsley on Wednesday after missing their 3-2 home win over Birmingham on Saturday.

Juventus midfielder Aaron Ramsey returns to the 26-man squad after shaking off a hamstring injury that kept out of the first half of their qualifying campaign.
