The centre-back will now be available for tomorrow’s League Cup fixture against Tottenham, as well as upcoming league matches against Leicester City and Manchester United. However, he still faces an FA charge of improper conduct, relating to his reaction when Dean sent him off. He has until Thursday to respond.
