Adam Masina - Will undergo MRI Masina will have an MRI on his thigh injury Thursday to determine the extent of his injury.

Impact In nine appearances this season (all starts), Masina has recorded 23 crosses (six accurate), four corners and 34 clearances. At this point, it seems unlikely Masina will be available against Manchester City on Saturday given the quick turnaround from the team's mid-week clash with Chelsea.

Tom Cleverley - Starts three straight matches Cleverley has two shots on target, 14 crosses and six corners over the last three matches, all starts.

Impact Cleverley has benefitted from a couple other injuries in the midfield and he's turned that into decent playing time. Watford have played well under Claudio Ranieri and there's a chance Cleverley may have found a consistent role under the new manager.

Adam Masina - Forced off with thigh injury Masina was forced off in the first half of Wednesday's match with Chelsea due to a thigh injury.

Impact Masina departed after just 11 minutes, being replaced by Danny Rose. More information should be known about the extent of injury ahead of Saturday's match with Manchester City.

DECEMBER 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Juraj Kucka - On bench Wednesday Kucka (undisclosed) will be available as a substitute against Chelsea on Wednesday.

Impact Kucka had started all 10 of his previous outings for the club but the fact that he is returning from a two-game stint on the sidelines will see him eased back into action Barring any setbacks, the midfielder should be in the mix for a spot in the starting XI versus Manchester City on Saturday.

DECEMBER 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Adam Masina - In starting XI Masina (undisclosed) was named to the starting XI against Chelsea on Wednesday.

Impact Masina has started all nine of his appearances for the club his season in which he recorded 22 crosses (six accurate), four corners and two shots (zero on target). While Tom Cleverley figures to continue to serve as the primary corner taker, Masina should continue to see a share of the workload.

DECEMBER 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Emmanuel Dennis - Starting versus Chelsea Dennis (undisclosed) will feature in the starting XI against Chelsea on Wednesday.

Impact Dennis has been nearly unstoppable of late, as he has recorded three goals on 10 shots (five on target), four assists and five crosses (zero accurate) in his last four appearances. The forward should continue to serve as the focal point of the Watford attack moving forward, making him a top-end fantasy target.

Emmanuel Dennis - Scores at Leicester Dennis scored one goal from three shots, created two chances, made one tackle (won) and one interception in Sunday's 4-2 loss at Leicester.

Impact Dennis scored in the 61st minute to cut Leicester's lead to 3-2, but they conceded again later and ended up with the loss. The forward now has five goals in the season, to go with five assists. He left injured in the 71st minute after picking up a knock and is questionable for Wednesday's game against Chelsea.

NOVEMBER 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Joshua King - Converts PK in road loss King scored one goal from three shots and made one interception in Sunday's 4-2 loss at Leicester.

Impact King scored the 1-1 equalizer in the 30th minute, converting a penalty kick, but it wasn't enough to avoid the road loss. He had a quiet outing other than that. The forward now has five goals in the season, and will look for another one when they host Chelsea on Wednesday.

NOVEMBER 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Daniel Bachmann - Allows fours goals at Leicester Bachmann made four saves and one clearance in Sunday's 4-2 loss at Leicester.

Impact Bachmann started in relief of Ben Foster and conceded four times as they ended up with the road loss. The goalkeeper now stays with no clean sheets after five starts in the season. Foster will not return in December, so he will likely get the nod again when they host Chelsea on Wednesday.

NOVEMBER 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Juraj Kucka - Late test for Chelsea Kucka is a late test for Wednesday's match against Chelsea because of a knock.

Impact Kucka was suspended and then he suffered a knock in training, so he's been out the last two matches. Watford are in need of midfielders, so if he's deemed fit, he could find his way back into the starting XI, albeit in a tough spot against Chelsea.

NOVEMBER 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ken Sema - Aiming to train this week Sema (knee) is hopeful to train by the end of this week, according to the team.

Impact Sema is needed on the pitch with Ismaila Sarr out long term and Emmanuel Dennis nursing a minor injury. However, with a return to training later this week, it's unlikely he'll be ready to play by the weekend, meaning his return will have to wait until next week.

NOVEMBER 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Adam Masina - Should be good for Wednesday Masina (knock) is expected to be fit for Wednesday's match against Chelsea, according to the team.

Impact Masina suffered a knock late last match, but it looks like he'll be good to go a few days later. He's started and gone a full 90 in four of the last five matches, but a spot against Chelsea is unlikely to produce much fantasy relevance.

NOVEMBER 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Emmanuel Dennis - Doubt to face Chelsea Dennis is a doubt for Wednesday's match against Chelsea after leaving the prior contest with an injury.

Impact It's a tough blow for Dennis, who is on two goals and two assists over the last two matches. This also coincides with an injury to ismaila Sarr, so Watford may have to move to their deep bench in a huge spot against Chelsea.

NOVEMBER 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ben Foster - Out until New Year Foster will be out until January with a groin injury, according to the team.

Impact Foster's injury comes at a time when backup Daniel Bachmann had been complaining about playing time. Now, it looks like Bachmann is set to start the rest of December, so he'll get to show his stuff. As for Foster, he may have to win his job back after getting no clean sheets in eight starts.

NOVEMBER 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Nicolas N`Koulou - Out until January Nkoulou will be out until the New Year because of a hamstring injury suffered two matches ago, according to the team.

Impact Nkoulou was on back-to-back starts prior to this injury, so his injury is unfortunate. William Troost-Ekong took his spot in the XI last game and may continue there, though they allowed four goals to Leicester. As for Nkoulou, he'll have to win his spot back upon return from injury.
