After a 2-year absence for the Blues, Chelsea midfielder Danny Drinkwater has finally been seen in a Blues shirt… but it was only for the Under-23s.

The struggling midfielder started for Chelsea U23 in the 3-1 defear to Liverpool U23.

Drinkwater, 30, has not played for Chelsea’s first team since August 2018 and also struggled for game time on loan at Burnley and Aston Villa since.

The struggling midfielder was linked with several clubs during the summer transfer window but none of them materialised, leaving him stranded at Chelsea as he isn’t in Frank Lampard’s plan.
