Watford defender Neuton is to undergo a scan on his foot tomorrow after Gianfranco Zola confirmed he will miss Saturday’s game with Peterborough United at Vicarage Road.

The Brazilian was hobbling around the club’s London Colney training ground today on crutches, wearing a protective boot, after sustaining the injury in training on Tuesday.

It was confirmed yesterday that the on-loan Udinese player had twisted his ankle but Zola revealed this lunchtime there is also a potential problem with his toe.

The Hornets boss said: “Tomorrow morning we have another scan to confirm. It looks like he’s got something in his toe. We don’t know exactly what it is. It might be a little bruise or it might be a little fracture. Tomorrow we will know more about that.”

I know a few moan about Neuton although I have quite taken to him. He has improved game by game and is very comfortable bringing the ball out. I hope it is nothing that will keep him out for too long as he would still be in my starting eleven.

I think we could have a gem on our hands with Neuton, our foreign counter parts refer to him as the ICE MAN. Man U where sniffing around him in 2010 when he was at Gremio. They were talking about 5-7 mill for his services as a replacement for Evra. We have to remember foreign players take time to settle in english football let alone the Championship.

Funny to think we are now debating if a player of anywhere near this reported value is good enough to be in our starting eleven.

I wonder what the current market value is now of our first team squad compared to previous seasons.
