Watford have emerged as one of the clubs central to the discussion about Premier League football returning amid the coronavirus pandemic as the subject has rumbled on.
Captain Troy Deeney has been one of the strongest voices, articulating the concerns of those players with health worries and being the first in the league to say explicitly that he will not be coming back to train as things stand.
Manager Nigel Pearson has spoken well about not forcing his players into situations they are not comfortable with and his own fears about the injury risks if top flight stars are not given enough preparation time.
