Daniel Bachmann - Concedes three in loss Bachmann allowed three goals while making no saves during Friday's 3-0 loss to Norwich City.
Impact Bachmann allowed three second half goals as Watford dropped all three points on Friday. The keeper has now allowed 26 goals in 11 league starts while his save total remained at 41 for the year.
JANUARY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Emmanuel Dennis - Sent off with two yellows Dennis was sent off in the 78th minute of Friday's match against Norwich with two yellow cards. He finished with one shot and one cross.
Impact It wasn't a great night for Watford or Dennis, who picked up both yellow cards after keeping his foot out a little too long on challenges. The good news for Watford is that Ismaila Sarr should be an option again after the break, which should help their attack considerably after a rough game against Norwich.

Ben Foster - Out with illness Foster is not in the squad for Friday's match against Norwich because of illness.
Impact Foster picked up an illness at some point in the last couple days and will miss Friday's match with Daniel Bachmann again replacing him. Foster should be ready after the break and as for Bachmann, it's by far the most favorable game he's been in, still without a clean sheet in 10 starts.
JANUARY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Craig Cathcart - Out against Norwich Cathcart is not in the squad for Friday's match against Norwich because of illness.
Impact Cathcart is a late absence Friday after picking up an illness, possibly COVID-19 related. He'd started the last 12 matches, but Watford have Christian Kabasele in their back pocket, so it's not much of a downgrade on the back line, if any.

Kwadwo Baah - Progressing in recovery Baah (ankle) is progressing in his recovery and working outside on the training pitch.
Impact Baah looks to be weeks away from a full return, but that doesn't mean much for the senior team. He should be available following the upcoming international break and will likely get minutes with the U23s before making a bench for the senior team, assuming he still has a role for them.
JANUARY 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jeremy Ngakia - Takes corners in rare start Ngakia started and went 66 minutes in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Newcastle, compiling three corners and four tackles (one won).
Impact Ngakia got the start and took some corners, but he was also subbed off early for the preferred right-back, Kiko Femenia. Ngakia has five starts this season with two in the last four matches, but the addition of Hassanne Kamara could mean less playing time.
JANUARY 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Joao Pedro - Starts, scores goal Pedro scored one goal across 90 minutes during a 1-1 draw Saturday against Newcastle United.
Impact Pedro logged his fourth start and second goal of the 2021-22 Premier League. He will try to continue improving tallies concerning both statistical categories this year. During the latter half of 2021, Emmanuel Dennis and Joshua King became favored starters over Pedro.
JANUARY 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Joshua King - Creates three chances as striker King created three chances during a 1-1 draw Saturday against Newcastle United.
Impact King was the Watford team's primary chance creator Saturday. Across his last six starts as a striker, he created 11 chances. The rate is good for strikers not expected to create scoring opportunities.
JANUARY 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Ben Foster - Disappointing during return Foster (groin) conceded one goal during a 1-1 draw Saturday against Newcastle United.
Impact Conceding one goal would have been alright if Foster logged multiple saves. However, he saved no shots en route to a disappointing draw during his return from an untimely groin injury. Foster will try redeeming himself Saturday versus Norwich City.

Further EPL disruption sees Burnley-Watford postponed again
Burnley’s English Premier League match against Watford has been postponed for a second time, leaving the last-placed team having played five fewer games than some othersJANUARY 17, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Christian Kabasele - Returns to bench Kabasele (calf) stayed on the bench in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Newcastle.
Impact Kabasele returned from injury Saturday and unsurprisingly didn't make an appearance. Following recent additions, he figures to be far down the depth chart at center-back and isn't expected to find much playing time the rest of the way.
JANUARY 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kiko Femenia - Plays off bench in draw Femenia (hamstring) played 24 minutes off the bench and assisted in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Newcastle.
Impact Femenia made an immediate impact Saturday after coming off the bench and he figures to take back his starting role with a couple more days of training. The right-back only has 12 appearances this season, but he already has three assists, which is one fewer than what he had in 37 Champions appearances last season.

Ben Foster - Back in starting XI Foster (groin) is back in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Newcastle.
Impact Foster gets the immediate call back into the starting XI, something Daniel Bachmann won't be happy about. Watford are starting all three new signings Saturday, so there could be some communication issues in the back even if they bring something positive to the side.
JANUARY 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Emmanuel Dennis - Starting against Newcastle Dennis (knock) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Newcastle.
Impact Dennis is back in the XI Saturday as expected after being held out last week in the Cup match. He's been Watford's best player this season and will be needed to get past Newcastle's back line, having produced five goals in his last seven starts.
JANUARY 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Nicolas N`Koulou - Continuing work in gym Nkoulou (hamstring) is continuing his work in the gym and remains out.
Impact Nkoulou was expected to return in January, but that return date now seems more like February. Upon a return to training, he'll need to regain his fitness, and given recent signings, it's unknown how much he'll be asked to play, though he has a couple starts under his belt with Claudio Ranieri.
JANUARY 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Oghenekaro Etebo - Hopeful to train fully by end of month Etebo (quad) is hopeful to join group training in a couple weeks after returning to the grass recently.
Impact Etebo will hope to return over the international break, which would point to a full return about a month from now. He appeared in the first six matches of the season, but he's yet to be healthy under Claudio Ranieri, and following the addition of new signings, it's unknown what his role will be going forward.
JANUARY 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Christian Kabasele - Could be option Saturday Kabasele (calf) has been training in full and will be a late test for Saturday's match against Newcastle.
Impact Kabasele hasn't appeared since October, so it's hard to see him featuring Saturday even though Watford need center-back help. When healthy, he stayed on the bench a month ago prior to this calf injury and the signing of Samir is unlikely to help Kabasele find the pitch.
JANUARY 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kiko Femenia - Training ahead of Newcastle trip Femenia (hamstring) has been training in full ahead of Saturday's trip to Newcastle.
Impact Femenia may only have to miss one league match with his hamstring issue, which is a positive sign. Of course, returning too soon from a hamstring injury sometimes isn't a good idea, so he's not guaranteed to make the XI Saturday in his first match back after Craig Cathcart started there against Tottenham.
