Danny Drinkwater has held talks with Burnley manager Sean Dyche after being the victim of a nightclub attack.

The midfielder, on loan from Chelsea, was brutally beaten by a group of six men outside of a nightclub in Manchester, according to The Sun.

The incident was not as bad as first thought and the 29-year-old will miss no more than three weeks of action.

But that hasn't stopped Dyche wanting answers for Drinkwater's involvement in the incident.

Chelsea are letting Burnley handle any punishment for the Englishman, who was reportedly heavily drunk when the incident occurred.
