Chelsea midfielder, Danny Drinkwater, has been charged with drink-driving after a collision early on Monday morning in Cheshire, Manchester.
The 29-year-old was charged before being granted his freedom on bail and will now appear in Stockport Magistrates’ Court on May 13.
Cheshire Police released a statement saying: “A 29-year-old from Nether Alderley has been charged with drink driving following an incident in Cheshire.
“Danny Drinkwater was arrested shortly after 12.30am on Monday 8 April following a one-vehicle collision on Ashley Road in Mere.
“He has been released on unconditional bail and is set to appear at Stockport Magistrates’ Court on Monday 13 May.”
The star was understood to be in the company of a glamorous lawyer Beth Mantel, who he met at the party, when the collision occurred.
Danny Drinkwater who joined Chelsea for £35m from Leicester has struggled for game-time this season after being frozen out by boss, Maurizio Sarri, and has not played for the Blues in over a year.
The midfielder, who started his career with Manchester United, joined Leicester City in January 2012 and was a regular in the 2015-16 title winning side under Claudio Ranieri.
