WATFORD have suffered a double injury blow after two of their January signings were ruled out for the rest of the season.

Gareth Williams, the elegant midfielder who has been used sparingly since signing from Leicester City, ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his knee in training last week.

The former Forest man will be joined in the treatment room by Moses Ashikodi who broke his leg playing for Bradford - Aidy Boothroyd's hometown club - on Saturday.

Ashikodi, 19, made eight first-team appearances for the relegation-threatened Bantams, scoring two goals since arriving in early March.
