Injury Update: Latest On Six Sidelined Hornets

By: Watford FC Staff

Six Hornets continue to progress with their respective recoveries from injury, while two members of the squad will be unavailable to play this week through suspension.

Ben Foster has begun light training at London Colney as treatment continues for a broken finger, which has seen the goalkeeper absent since January 2.

Meanwhile, centre-half Christian Kabasele is still working in the gym as he recovers from a knee injury sustained at Huddersfield Town in December.

Isaac Success continues to work with the medical team as he returns following a lengthy spell on the sidelines, the forward having appeared for the Under-23s in recent weeks.

Similarly, Marc Navarro remains unavailable due to a hamstring injury, with treatment ongoing for the full-back, who last appeared in a matchday squad on February 6.

Troy Deeney is facing a spell on the sidelines after a scan revealed Achilles tendon damage for the club captain, with a second scan scheduled within the next couple of weeks.

There is positive news regarding Tom Dele-Bashiru's rehabilitation though, as the midfielder is now back full-time at the training ground following an ACL injury suffered at Reading in October. The 21-year-old will appear on Hive Live from 6pm on Wednesday night, discussing his recovery and more.

Suspensions for João Pedro and Nathaniel Chalobah will see the pair miss Wednesday evening’s home fixture against Wycombe Wanderers. The Brazilian was sent off for a second yellow card at Bournemouth, while Chalobah picked up a 10th booking of the season which will also see him miss Saturday’s fixture against Nottingham Forest.
