Watts dropped from England squad after arrest

Hull KR's Liam Watts has been dropped from England's intial 32-man squad for the upcoming Four Nations after being arrested on suspicion of drink-driving.

The 20-year-old recently returned to training with his club, having been suspended for three weeks following an incident in which a car being chased by police crashed into a wall.

National coach Steve McNamara has axed four other players to make way for replacements, including 20-year-old debutant Jonny Lomax.

England begin the tournament on October 29 against Wales at Leigh.
