Watford have no fresh injury concerns ahead of Friday night's televised trip to Bournemouth but it is hoped Joel Ekstrand, Almen Abdi and Fernando Forestieri could return to training next week.
Both Abdi and Forestieri are suffering from hamstring injuries. Abdi has not featured since the Hornets' dismal 3-1 defeat at Huddersfield Town at the beginning of January, whilst Forestieri was injured in the FA Cup tie at Chelsea six days earlier.
The duo will not be available to head coach Slavisa Jokanovic for Friday's visit to Goldsands Stadium, and neither will central defender Joel Ekstrand. He is sidelined due to a lower back injury but it is also hoped the Swede will return to training next week as he steps up his recovery.
There is currently no time frame on Sean Murray's return following knee surgery last week.
