Watford forward Andre Gray has apologised after a breach of lockdown rules led to him being dropped at the weekend. Gray and team-mates Nathaniel Chalobah and Domingos Quina were omitted for Sunday’s Premier League defeat to Southampton following reports he held a party to celebrate his 29th birthday on Friday. Gray has downplayed the scale of occasion, describing it as “a gathering of friends” at his home, but accepted he was in the wrong. I understand my responsibilities and will do what it takes to make it right. The Hornets have collected just one point in their three games since the Premier League resumed and are only one point above the relegation zone.
