Trialist Claudio Beauvue should feature for Watford against Wealdstone tomorrow but Tommy Smith will not play.
The Hornets have this evening released their squad lists for the two 'Watford XI' games against the Stones and Hampton and Richmond Borough.
Malky Mackay confirmed this week he will be taking his first team to Wealdstone boss Gordan Bartlett's testimonial and the development squad will go to Borough.
Right midfielder Beauvue is on trial from French club Troyes and will be part of the Wealdstone squad which is without a number of first-team members.
Watford today said Smith, who is the subject of interest from a number of clubs, is out with a shin injury and has been rested as a precaution, as has Ross Jenkins.
Jobi McAnuff, Will Hoskins and Al Bangura are all still out with injury and illness.
Young midfielder Kurtney Brooks, forward Marvin Sordell, Beauvue and Academy keeper Jamie Irving all come into Mackay's 20-man squad.
John-Joe O'Toole, who is expected to move to Sheffield United, Lewis Young and Mat Sadler have all been placed in the 17-man development group.
Squad for Wealdstone: Beauvue (trialist), Brooks, Bryan, Cowie, Doyley, Ellington, Eustace, Graham, Harley, Henderson, Hodson, Irving (gk), Kiernan, Lee (gk), Mariappa, Oshodi, Priskin, Severin, Sordell, Williamson.
Squad for Hampton and Richmond: Angus, Bond (gk), Deer, Fenwick, Gibson, Hemati, Lavers, Mingoia, North (gk), Otshudi, O’Toole, Penny, Rosier, Sadler, Whichelow, Yiadom, Young.
