Premier League strugglers Watford said that three players had been removed from their match day squad against Southampton to protect “the health and safety of all players, staff and officials”.
According to AFP, Andre Gray, Nathaniel Chalobah and Domingos Quina were not part of Nigel Pearson's 20-man squad.
The action by the club came after Gray posted a series of videos on social media of a large gathering to celebrate his birthday on Friday. Quina, 20, was seen in the videos as a group played football on an artificial pitch in Gray's garden.
