Danny Drinkwater never settled in well at the club and has not featured in the first team for a long time. Yet another failed transfer of the Antonio Conte era, Drinkwater currently plays for the academy side.

Ben Chilwell is the first team left back at the moment and is an immense upgrade on the slow and defensively and attacking incapable Marcos Alonso who is looking to return to Spain.

With reports arising of Chelsea players being not happy with ten tactics being deployed by Frank Lampard Olivier Giroud has come out in support of him.

“I wish he could join a bit more in circles to play with us but his knee is not right right now so hopefully will get better soon and we can play with him.

It’s nice to have a young manager so even if he will still learn all through his career, he’s already got a lot of qualities to manage a team,” the French striker said.
