Impact As expected, Sarr is in the team Saturday, but given his quick return, he's not being asked to start. That said, he's healthy again and the question seems to be when he'll come on against Brighton, not if.

On bench Saturday Sarr (AFCON) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Brighton.
Returns from international duty Sarr (not injury related) rejoined the team ahead of Saturday's matchup with Brighton & Hove Albion.
Impact Having just returned from winning the Africa Cup of Nations with Senegal, Sarr may not be ready to immediately jump back into the starting XI for Watford. Especially considering he was dealing with a knee problem before leaving which has kept him out of domestic competition since Nov. 20 against Manchester United. If he does play, Sarr could be eased into action with an appearance off the bench but should be a mainstay on the pitch moving forward.

Back from injury, still at AFCON Sarr (knee) came off the bench and scored in 32 minutes of Sunday's AFCON win against Equatorial Guinea.
Impact Sarr is healthy again, but he'll still miss the next two league matches because Senegal are in the AFCON semi-finals. While that's a positive update for Watford, it's still worth noting Sarr will likely see significant time over the next week with Senegal despite being out since late November because of a knee injury. The hope is that he doesn't pick up a new issue in his return.

Joins up with Senegal Sarr has apparently recovered from his knee injury and has joined Senegal ahead of their AFCON quarter-final.
Impact This is a positive update on Sarr with the hope being that he isn't returning too soon from injury. Either way, he probably won't be ready for Watford's next couple league matches given AFCON and his long layoff from injury.

Away for AFCON Sarr is with Senegal for the upcoming African Cup of Nations despite dealing with a knee injury.
Impact It looks like Senegal got their way with Sarr, who isn't healthy. Hopefully, they don't push him to play too soon, as Sarr hasn't played since November because of a knee injury and the original hope was for him to return at some point in January. Now, injury or not, he'll be out until February.

Out extended period with knee injury Sarr has a knee ligament injury and will require a further scan in around a month, according to the team.
Impact This is a massive blow for Watford, who were hoping to only miss Sarr for a game or two. Cucho Hernandez came into the XI last match and will likely continue on the wing in Sarr's place. It's unfortunate for Sarr, who already had five goals in 12 matches prior to injury.
