Danny Drinkwater's career after the championship journey with "Leicester City" continues to decline.
"Sky Sports" confirmed the information of other English newspapers that the 29-year-old footballer was seriously assaulted by a group of men last weekend, allegedly - gangs.
It is claimed that the Englishman, who decided to relax in one of Manchester nightclubs, got into a brawl, in which not only his face but also his cheekbone was severely injured.
The footballer was attacked by several people on Sunday night, but D. Drinkwater himself refused to make a statement and for this reason the incident will not be investigated.
From the photos, it can be seen that D. Drinkwater was hit in the face multiple times, but his cheekbone is causing the most concern. Unofficial data suggests that he may not be able to play for several weeks due to this injury.
"Sky Sports" reports that on Monday, the head coach of "Burnley," Sean Dyche, will talk to the footballer himself. It is not ruled out that "Burnley" will cancel the player's loan and he will be forced to return to "Chelsea."
The defender, who joined "Chelsea" in 2017, still has a valid contract for three years.
A few months ago, D. Drinkwater also made headlines in the English media when he drove under the influence and crashed his car.
