WATFORD NEWS

Emmanuel Dennis - Nets in loss Dennis scored once on three shots (two on goal) during Saturday's 2-1 loss to Brentford.

Impact Dennis scored his first goal since February and his 10th goal of the campaign during Saturday's loss. While Watford look set for a poor end to the season, this goal does push Dennis to double-digits, and 15 total goal contributions. Dennis has the toughest match on the calendar up next, away against Manchester City.

Francisco Sierralta - Ruled out Saturday Sierralta will not be available against Brentford after sustaining a calf injury.

Impact Sierralta hasn't made an appearance for the club since Jan. 1 against Tottenham, so his absence due to his calf problem is unlikely to be noticed by fans or fantasy players. Even once back in the squad, the defender should be considered a relative non-factor in fantasy contests the rest of the way.

Samuel Kalu - Picks up ankle issue Kalu sustained an ankle injury and will miss out versus Brentford on Saturday.

Impact Kalu has come off the bench in his two appearances for Watford since joining the club during the January transfer window. Even if Kalu is able to return, he will be hard-pressed to break into the starting XI with any consistency, making him a low-end fantasy option.

Ben Foster - Concedes three in loss Foster made two saves and conceded three goals during Saturday's 3-0 loss against Leeds.

Impact Foster was beaten once during the second half and twice more after halftime but wasn't at fault for either goal as two of them came off spectacular long-range strikes that would be difficult for any goalkeeper to save and the other was result of a huge defensive giveaway by his two centre backs. With 13 goals conceded over his last five starts, Foster will try to bounce back during next Saturday's home clash against Brentford.

Hassane Kamara - Fills stat sheet in loss Kamara created one chance and made four tackles (all won), seven clearances and two interceptions during Saturday's 3-0 loss against Leeds.

Impact Kamara was once again one of Watford's few positives, posting some great defensive numbers. But his efforts weren't enough to prevent another loss as his side keeps approaching relegation with the recent poor play. The left back will try to help his side get back on track during next Saturday's home clash against Brentford.

Emmanuel Dennis - Quiet performance off bench in loss Dennis created one chance and made two tackles (both won) after coming off the bench during Saturday's 3-0 loss against Leeds.

Impact Dennis was brought in the 39th minute, replacing injured Cucho Hernandez, but couldn't provide the offensive spark his side needed to rescue at least one point here. After being a starter for most of the season, the forward came off the bench during the last two matches and his chances of starting next Saturday's clash against Brentford will only be high if Hernandez can't fully recover.

Kwadwo Baah - Back in full training Baah is back in full training and figures to play with the U23s after recovering from an ankle injury.

Impact Baah isn't expected to crack the senior team roster in the next couple weeks, as he'll likely work on his fitness with the U23s. He hasn't appeared for the U23s since February and will hope to get back some kind of health before the season ends.

Christian Kabasele - Makes three blocks during loss Kabasele made three blocks and six clearances during Saturday's 2-0 loss to Liverpool.

Impact Kabasele started his second straight match after being a substitute for most of the season. It's likely this will continue as Watford are without Nicolas Nkoulou (hamstring) and William Troost-Ekong (hamstring) currently. Both will have the chance to return against Leeds next Saturday, which could hurt Kabasele's path to playing time.

Ismaila Sarr - Starts following international break Sarr took one shot (off target) and created one scoring chance during Saturday's 2-0 loss to Liverpool.

Impact Sarr had featured in both of Senegal's World Cup qualifiers against Egypt but was able to come back into the side on short notice and despite missing three matches leading up to the international break. He lasted the full 90 minutes and will be back in the lineup for Saturday's match against Leeds United.

Hassane Kamara - Excellent defensive production in loss Kamara made seven tackles (won three), four interceptions and four clearances during Saturday's 2-0 loss to Liverpool.

Impact Kamara led the match in tackles and also added a block as Watford stood tough for much of the match. He's been a great source of defensive stats from his left-back position and will be back in the lineup for Saturday's match against Leeds United.

Imran Louza - Busy defensively during loss Louza made six tackles (won three), four interceptions and four clearances during Saturday's 2-0 loss to Watford.

Impact Louza was charged with slowing down Liverpool's attack from his defensive midfield position, something he did well as Liverpool were disjointed for much of the match. He's a great source of defensive statistics and should be considered in formats that account for those stats. Expect him back in the lineup for Saturday's home match against Leeds United.

Ben Foster - Concedes one goal during loss Foster conceded two goals and made one save during Saturday's 2-0 loss to Liverpool.

Impact Foster was beaten on either side of halftime as a first-half header from Diogo Jota gave Liverpool the lead. Fabinho secured all three points with a late penalty kick and Foster was otherwise untested for much of the match. He'll look to bounce back in Saturday's match against Leeds United.

Emmanuel Dennis - Comes off bench in loss Dennis played 12 minutes during Saturday's 2-0 loss to Liverpool.

Impact Dennis had been a consistent starter but was dropped to the substitute's bench following the international break. It's possible he was given a slight bit of rest following his exploits for Nigeria and may come back into the side against Leeds United next Saturday. Joao Pedro led the attacking line for Watford against Liverpool.

Jeremy Ngakia - Available versus Liverpool Ngatia (hamstring) is on the bench for Saturday's game against Liverpool.

Ismaila Sarr - Logs 68 minutes with Senegal Sarr (hamstring) played 68 minutes in Senegal's World Cup qualifier against Eygpt on Tuesday, ESPN.com reports.

Impact Sarr converted his penalty shootout opportunity to help Senegal to advance to the 2022 World Cup. With his hamstring issue behind him, the forward should be in the mix for Saturday's matchup with Liverpool, though he may have to settle for a spot on the bench after being away for international duty.

Nicolas N`Koulou - In contention Saturday Nkoulou (hamstring) will be available versus Liverpool on Saturday.

Impact Nkoulou has been out of action since Nov. 20 against Manchester United but looks poised to at least rejoin the squad. It's unclear if the central defender will jump right back into the starting XI given his extended layoff but he should get some minutes sooner rather than later.
