Watford boss Javi Gracia has been bolstered by a host of players returning to fitness, with all but three of his squad in contention for Saturday's visit of Bournemouth.

Marc Navarro is the only fresh concern and joins Daryl Janmaat and Tom Cleverley in being sidelined for the match at Vicarage Road.

The news will come as a boost to Gracia as he looks to get his side back to winning ways after an run of three league games without a success.

Gracia confirmed a number of first-team names, including summer arrival Gerard Deulofeu have a chance to feature against the Cherries.

“Players like Gerard Deulofeu, Stefano Okaka, Mguel Britos and Sebastian Prodl have all been back training with the team,” the Watford head coach said.

“They all have a chance to be involved and we have to know they are not in the best condition and maybe need more sessions to be better.

“I think they will be able to help us in the next game and we will see if they are available.

“Some players have been injured in the last weeks. In this moment we have only Tom Cleveley, Daryl Janmaat Marc Navarro, who this week felt a little pain, that will not be available for the next game.”

Saturday's game sees sixth play seventh, with goal difference alone keeping Watford above of the Cherries in the Premier League.

Victory for either would therefore be enough to see either climb into the top four, dependant on results elsewhere in the league.
