Danny Drinkwater arrested on suspicion of drink driving

Danny Drinkwater is in police custody after being arrested on suspicion of drink driving, report the Mirror.

The Chelsea midfielder crashed his car late on Monday night, following the Blues’ 2-0 win over West Ham, in which he played no part.

It is believed that Drinkwater left a party in Greater Manchester before his Range Rover hit a Skoda shortly after midnight on Tuesday morning.

The 29-year-old was treated for injuries, along with a female passenger and the driver of the Skoda.

It is the latest setback in Drinkwater’s increasingly stuttering career, having thrived at Leicester City during their 2015/16 Premier League title triumph.

His form with the Foxes earned him a move to Chelsea, but things have not gone to plan at all.

Drinkwater has managed just 23 appearances for the Blues since moving in the summer of 2017.

A summer exit looks inevitable, especially if he is found guilty of drink driving.
