Matthew Briggs and Alex Geijo have returned to fitness and will be hoping to make Watford's squad for tomorrow's trip to Millwall.

Briggs failed a late fitness test on Saturday afternoon so missed the defeat to Peterborough United but with Marco Cassetti suspended for one match following his red card, the Fulham loanee will have a good chance of being involved at the Den.

Zola said: "Matthew Briggs is fine. He has recovered. He had a groin problem at the weekend so it was too risky to play him or put him on the bench."

The Italian added: "Alex Geijo is also back and fit for tomorrow. He picked up a problem with his knee which he twisted in training so we had to leave him out."

Tommie Hoban (ankle), Neuton (shoulder), Nyron Nosworthy (ankle) and Connor Smith (knee) remain on the sidelines due to injuries.

Both John Eustace and Fitz Hall have made progress following their respective problems but will also miss the trip.

Zola said: "Fitz Hall is getting better and better. Tomorrow he will be having another assessment but he certainly won't be ready for the Millwall game."

"John Eustace is still not fit," Zola continued. "He is much better and has been training for the last two weeks but is not match fit."
