For several weeks now, the Watford club has known that it will play in the Championship next season. This Friday morning, the team from the suburbs of London formalized the departure of five of its players.

Returning in 2018 after a first stint between 2005 and 2007, Ben Foster will leave the club. The 39-year-old goalkeeper will have played 207 games for Watford this season. Nicolas Nkoulou will not be retained either. Arrived free last October, the former Lyon defender played only 168 minutes this season before suffering a serious hamstring injury last November. Andre Gray, Juraj Kucka and Peter Etebo also bid farewell.
