Late test for Saturday Femenia (groin) has re-joined training and will be a late test for Saturday's match against Norwich.

Impact Femenia still doesn't seem completely fit, as he's yet to appear this season because of injury, so he probably won't be in the XI in his first match back. That said, he started 36 matches last season and once he can get some fitness, he'll fight for playing time at right-back.

Continues to battle groin injury Femenia is working his way back from a groin injury and will remain out for Saturday's match against Wolves.

Impact Watford have been kind of quiet about this injury for Femenia, as he wasn't mentioned in prior injury reports. He suffered the groin issue in preseason friendlies but had returned from that, though he's yet to make an appearance in league play. Until he's ready, Craig Cathcart is expected to remain at right-back.

Available against Brighton Femenia is available for Saturday's match against Brighton after being rested for the opener following a return from an abductor injury.

Impact Femenia was a regular when healthy at right-back last season, so his return could push Watford into some changes on the back line. Craig Cathcart moved out wide against Aston Villa and would likely go inside if Femenia is back in the XI, possibly pushing Christian Kabasele to the bunch.

Makes bench for friendly Femenia (abductor) is on the bench for Saturday's friendly against Crystal Palace.

Impact Femenia is back from a nagging hip injury and looks to be ready for the season. He'll need to get back his fitness in the upcoming week and then once ready to start he'll have to fight Danny Rose for minutes at right-back.

Late test for opener Femenia is edging closer to a return from an abductor injury and is considered a late test for the Aug. 14 opener against Aston Villa, reports the Watford Observer.

Impact Femenia started every match at right-back when healthy last season en route to 36 starts and four assists. Fortunately, he's almost ready to return from the injury he suffered in May, but if he's not ready to start, Marc Navarro could see more time early in the season.

Wins three tackles in 4-0 loss Femenia had two crosses (none accurate), five tackles (three won) and three interceptions in Tuesday's 4-0 loss to Manchester City.

Impact Femenia was shifted to the left-back for a change here but he still faced an almost impossible task to hold the offensive escadrille of City. The full-back has been fairly active going forward of late with four chances created and 12 crosses over his past four matches while adding 15 tackles and eight interceptions during the same period but hasn't had a clean sheet in nine straight outings now.
