Daniel Bachmann looks likely to miss out on this weekend's match between Watford and Newcastle United, with a knee injury.

The Austrian was dropped to the bench for the game against Norwich City and was not included in the Carabao Cup squad against Stoke City in midweek.

He will be assessed ahead of the Magpies' visit.

Kiko Femenia could be included after he was forced out of the win at Carrow Road in the second half, while striker Joao Pedro could also be in contention after returning to full training.

Peter Etebo is available again too after missing the defeat to Stoke due to contractual arrangements with the Potters.
