Watford boss Javi Gracia has announced Younes Kaboul can leave the club.

Gracia says Kaboul's professionalism has never been in doubt, but says the 32-year-old will be allowed to leave the club.

“No [he won't be considered for the next squad]. For me, Kaboul is a very good professional and person as well and I do not have any problem with him. The situation is that he is not in the squad and we have to understand this," Gracia said.

“I don't know the situation but if the player decides and the club decides he finds a good option I will agree with them.

“He has always kept a very good behaviour and commitment with us. He has tried to help us as much as he can."
