Troy Deeney returns to action for Watford ahead of Premier League restart as Etienne Capoue scores thunderbolt in friendly with Brentford

Troy Deeney returned to action for Watford as they beat Brentford 2-0 in a friendly match at Vicarage Road on Saturday afternoon.

The forward came off the bench for the final half-hour having only returned to training 10 days ago after expressing concerns about playing amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

Deeney had made no secret of his reservations about returning to action, saying he was unwilling to risk the health of his five-month-old son, who has had breathing difficulties.
