RICHARD LEE is again expected to deputise for Mart Poom this afternoon (Saturday).

Despite playing for Estonia against England last Saturday, Poom is still struggling with a back problem and manager Aidy Boothroyd is wary of taking any chances with his number one, particularly when Lee is a more than capable deputy.

"I was really pleased with Richard's performance against Scunthorpe and it's always nice to have two very good goalkeepers," said the manager.

"Poom's injury concerns me because of Mart's nature.

"If Mart was to play games and rest then he would be fit for every game. But I have to physically push him and get him out of the gym. He has to be carried off mats. He is the ultimate professional. He is the first one in and sometimes gets in before me, and I get in at half seven, and is the last one to leave. He's absolutely mad.

"His biggest strength is his biggest weakness," the Hornets boss continued.

"He wants to train every day and I won't let him. It's just really trying to get the best out of this fantastic professional.

"Picking the ball out of the net three times obviously did England the world of good but not him. He trained on Wednesday so I'm hoping he is going to be alright. He's got an on-going problem that we need to address."
