Watford boss Gianfranco Zola confirms on-loan Udinese defender Neuton has not suffered fracture in foot

Watford defender Neuton is set to return to training earlier than feared after Gianfranco Zola confirmed the defender has not suffered a fractured bone in his foot.

The on-loan Brazilian underwent a scan yesterday after sustaining a toe injury in training on Tuesday that ruled him out of the 1-0 victory over Peterborough United.

Neuton was still on crutches at Vicarage Road today, but when asked how the scan went the Hornets head coach said: “Better than we thought. He hasn’t got a fracture, he’s got a big bruise so he will still need some time but not as long as we thought.”

I see him walking (hobbling) on crutches down Vicarage Road today on his way to the match. I think these new players should take great credit for just mingling with the supporters.

Great news . Look forward to seeing him back in a couple of weeks.
Thought Doyley did well defensively yesterday but missed Neutons distribution , if we could only 'clone' them together we'd have the complete defender!....... Neutley .... Doylton ?

That Is just the ticket. I think we missed Neuton coming out with the ball hence more kicks from hand. But what is great is we won, under par but still flashes of what we will become.

What a spine of quality players we could have this season, Neuton, Abdi and FF, just hope we can keep hold of them a bit longer!
