Drinkwater opens up on 'sticky patch' after latest Chelsea snub

The 2015-16 Premier League winner has experienced a turbulent few years following his move to Stamford Bridge

Danny Drinkwater has vowed to 'clean himself up' following a dramatic few years that has seen his career stall significantly at Chelsea.

The 30-year-old's future with the Blues appears be to all but over after the club opted not to assign him a number for the coming campaign with new signing Thiago Silva taking Drinkwater's former number six jersey.

Drinkwater joined Chelsea in 2017 from Leicester after helping the Foxes to their surprise Premier League title but he has failed to cement himself in the squad and has been caught up in trouble off the pitch.
