Christian Kabasele jokes Watford are injecting coronavirus into players and staff every week as he reacts angrily to Sheffield United fan's accusation that they are just trying to avoid relegation

Watford defender Christian Kabasele has angrily reacted to a Sheffield United fan who accused the club of being opposed to the Premier League's Project Restart in an attempt to avoid relegation.

The defender joked that the club had a tactic of 'injecting players with coronavirus' after Adrian Mariappa and two members of staff tested positive for the virus this week.

Club captain Troy Deeney has also been vocal in his opposition to the season resuming, citing health risks to his family as the reason he has refused to return to training.
