Danny Drinkwater will not be punished by Chelsea after he was allegedly attacked by a group of men while drunk outside a Manchester nightclub, Sky Sports News understands.
The midfielder, who is currently on loan at Burnley, was thrown out of the Chinawhite Club in Manchester 10 days ago.
It is understood Chelsea have been in touch with Drinkwater to check that he is okay, but any further action is being left to Burnley.
He met Sean Dyche on Monday to discuss his future and the consequences of that meeting are likely to be revealed on Thursday.
Drinkwater has made just five Premier League starts for Chelsea in two years after his move from Leicester where he won the title in 2016.

Honestly feel like he became like this cos of how the club have done him dirty. I mean you make all that money and cant play the sport you enjoy so you're bound to be depressed and spend your money on dumb behaviour such as drinking alcohol and messing around with women... from his perspective it makes sense but he should also fix up cos no one will take him if he behaves like this and once his contract expires at Chelsea he wont be getting a renewal...
