Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel has been arrested on suspicion of drink-driving just hours before Chelsea's FA Cup match against Ipswich.
Reports are saying that Mikel was arrested at around 5:30am outside Stamford Bridge.
Mikel didn't play for Chelsea against Ipswich and since then he has been charged.
It is believed that Mikel could receive either a year's driving ban or a jail sentence if found guilty.
A Chelsea spokesman has said: "We are aware [Mikel] was arrested and charged. We want to establish the facts before we comment."
My family have been affected by a drink driver and I cannot understand why anybody would do it, especially a footballer who can afford to pay for a taxi.
What was he doing out in the early hours of the morning, just before a match anyway?
It looks like Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard may be sent down now it looks like Chelsea's Mikel may be sent down as well.
