And boss Antonio Conte has revealed that Drinkwater is unlikely to make his Blues debut before October’s international break.
“He has a muscular problem in his calf and I think it is very difficult to see him before the international break,” Conte said.
“It’s a pity because he was starting to work and to improve his physical condition and adapt to our idea of football.
“It will be two, three, four weeks – I don’t know.”
