The former England and Chelsea midfielder was sent off for leaving his technical area to argue with a match official over the failure to award Derby a penalty after the ball appeared to strike the arm of Rotherham’s Jon Taylor in the area.
Lampard could receive a one-match suspension if he is deemed to have used insulting language or behaviour towards the official during the incident.
