Liam Payne, Zayn Malik, Harry Styles and Niall Horan skip Louis Tomlinson's Doncaster Rovers debut amidst One Direction break up rumors

This week marked the Louis Tomlinson's debut as a reserve player for the Doncaster Rovers and fans flocked to the stadium for record-breaking attendance. But there were four people noticeably absent from Louis big game: his One Direction bandmates Niall Horan, Harry Styles, Liam Payne and Zayn Malik. Why weren't the pop stars out to support their singing partner?

There are plenty of theories making the rounds as to why the rest of One Direction missed Louis' debut. Both Zayn and Harry seem to be having some relationship woes and Niall is reportedly in the early stages of a new romance with Selena Gomez. This of course leaves Liam Payne, who recently started rumors of One Direction being on the outs with each other.

Payne cleared this up recently, proclaiming that the group was not breaking up at all, but not showing up to Louis' game doesn't help the claim.

Mstars News previously reported on Tomlinson's debut. Here is an excerpt:

There were about 5,000 fans in the stadium this week, most of which were young girls lining up to buy Louis' jersey, number 28.

As the game got closer to kick off, the announcer stated: "And these are the Rovers substitutes: Lewis Ferguson, Ben Haskins and ... Louis Tomlinson."

As you can imagine, the crowd erupted.

Tomlinson saw some game time as well, and on his first touch his fans cheered, "Louis I love you!"
