Adrian Mariappa confirmed he was one of three people from the club – and six across the Premier League – to test positive for the virus in the first round of analysis conducted by clubs last week.
Watford captain Troy Deeney refuses to return to training due to health concerns with his child and is against to the season resuming, which is hoped to happen by the 12th of June.
The club also opposed plans to play the remaining Premier League fixtures at neutral venues.
Kabasele hit out at a Twitter user who claimed Watford have been tactically trying to stop 2019-20 reaching its conclusion on the pitch to ensure their top-flight status is retained.
So let me explain our tactic : we are doing one injection of #covid19 once a week. We draw the player/membre of staff who get it like this we are sur that we never play again and avoid relegation ??♂️#watfordfc https://t.co/FdfMF4vqoB

“We draw the player/member of staff who gets it [and] like this we are sure that we never play again and avoid relegation.”
When the same Twitter user said Kabasele should “get back to work”, he replied: “Can I laugh at someone who can say to someone that he should ‘GET BACK TO WORK’ when actually he went back to work…
“And it’s not a question of being a coward or not when literally you can kill someone from your household if they get the virus from you. Anything else?”

Unbelievable that any normal person even thinks that any football team/players would use a deadly killer virus as an excuse to avoid relegation. As a WFC fan I dont care if we get relegated, our players/supporters and our families are worth more @WatfordFC
