More Watford stars ‘REFUSE to train after three of six positive coronavirus tests’ came from CLUB

Watford ‘had THREE of Premier League’s six positive coronavirus tests as more stars join captain Troy Deeney in refusing to train’

Several more Watford players are refusing to train after the club provided three of the six positive coronavirus tests across the Premier League.

The club’s captain Troy Deeney revealed he would not be reporting for training on Tuesday amid fears of catching the virus and bringing it home to his young family.  

Premier League players and staff underwent coronavirus testing on Monday at their bases before returning to training and six positive cases were revealed (0.8 per cent) from a total of 748 tests.

According to The Athletic, more players have now joined Deeney’s stance after one player and two members of staff at the club were diagnosed with the virus.

Those who have been infected are reported to be doing well and will now spend the next seven days in self-isolation as per government guidelines.
