A Stockport Magistrates\u2019 Court in England, on Monday, banned Chelsea star, Danny Drinkwater, from driving for 20 months, Mirror UK reports.<\/p>\n

The Judge, Mark Hadfield also ordered that Drinkwater should be given 70 hours community service after the midfielder pleaded guilty to drink driving.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST recalls that the 29-year-old was arrested by 12.30am on April 8 after the Range Rover vehicle he was driving hit a Skoda<\/p>\n

Confirming the incident to reporters, Cheshire Police said: \u201cA 29-year-old man from Nether Alderley was arrested on suspicion of drink driving. He is currently in custody assisting officers with their inquiries.\u201d<\/p>\n

Drinkwater crashed his Range Rover into a Skoda car at approximately 12.30am, hours before Chelsea\u2019s Premier League 2-0 victory over West Ham United at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n

The player and solicitor, Beth Mantel had attended a charity event in an upmarket bar called Victors in Hale, Greater Manchester, approximately six miles away from his house.<\/p>\n

The crash left debris scattered across the country road while a fence was also flattened.<\/p>\n

Drinkwater joined Chelsea in a \u00a335million deal last summer from Leicester City.<\/p>\n

The England star has fallen out of favour at Chelsea since manager, Maurizio Sarri, took over from fellow Italian, Antonio Conte.\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
