Will Hughes has revealed he is back in training after a lengthy injury lay-off.

The summer signing, who arrived from Derby for an initial £4.5 million, has been out of action since suffering a hamstring injury against Manchester United in November.

Any injury is a set-back, but for Hughes the timing was far from ideal as it came just as he was beginning to make a serious impact on the Watford starting XI.

He had scored in back-to-back games for the Hornets in wins over West Ham and Newcastle and looked to be thriving under then Watford boss Marco Silva.

With the hamstring complaint now behind him, it is little surprise Hughes, who took to twitter to reveal he is back in training, is pleased to be nearing a return.
