Defender Lloyd Doyley is available for Watford’s trip to Ipswich Town tomorrow after recovering from a hamstring injury but Almen Abdi is still out.

Doyley hasn’t played for the Hornets since November 9 but the 31-year-old has trained this week with the first-team squad and is ready for selection.

Abdi however is still out with a foot problem. The midfielder has not played a competitive match since August 31 and while he has been involved in training, the 27-year-old is not yet ready for competitive action.

Tommie Hoban (ankle), Essaid Belkalem (ankle) and Reece Brown (knee) all remain unavailable while Davide Faraoni (ankle) is expected to be out for a few weeks after he was replaced in Saturday’s defeat against Sheffield Wednesday.
