Forgotten Chelsea flop Danny Drinkwater has hit back at criticism over his surprise new job - several years on from his sensational Premier League title triumph.

The former midfielder was part of the Leicester squad that lifted the top-flight trophy in a stunning upset in 2015-16 before joining Chelsea in 2017 in a £35million move.

He made just 22 appearances during a debut season hit by injuries, however, and quickly found himself frozen out of the first-team picture at Stamford Bridge.

Drinkwater was sent out on unsuccessful loans to Burnley and Aston Villa in a bid to revitalise his career but disciplinary problems off the pitch also dogged him.
