Danny Drinkwater to avoid extended ban?

Leicester City midfielder Danny Drinkwater has reportedly avoided being handed an extended ban for his reaction to his dismissal during the 1-1 draw with Manchester United on Sunday.

Late in the game at Old Trafford, Drinkwater was given a second yellow card for a foul on Memphis Depay and appeared to swear at referee Michael Oliver before making his way down the tunnel.

However, according to The Mirror, the 26-year-old will be available for his side's trip to Chelsea on the final day of the season after Oliver decided against mentioning the incident in his assessment of the game.

Last month, teammate Jamie Vardy was handed a further one-match ban for his reaction to being sent off against West Ham United.

Leicester will be crowned Premier League champions on Monday if Tottenham Hotspur fail to defeat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
