Chelsea are aware of Drinkwater’s case, but yet to make detailed official statement concerning it at the time of this report.
“We are aware of reports but we will want to establish all of the facts before commenting,” a Chelsea spokesman said of the Drinkwater’s trouble on Monday night.
England international, Drinkwater, seems to be taking his frustration at Stamford Bridge beyond the pitch of play.
He has failed to earn regular playing time at Chelsea since his arrival from Leicester in August 2017 for a reported £35million transfer fee, only playing 12 EPL matches in his first season under former manager, Antonio Conte.
Drinkwater has not played any Premier League match for the Bluea so far this season under Maurizio Sarri.
