Danny Rose - Out with slight knock Rose is not in the squad for Saturday's match against Everton because of a slight knock.
Impact It's the first complete absence for Rose this season after starting each of the last five matches. Adam Masina is getting the start at left-back in his place Saturday after he was taken off at half time of the last contest while playing in more of a midfield role.

Joshua King - Back in starting XI King (knee) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Everton.
Impact King is healthy again and he's in favor of manager Claudio Ranieri, as he gets the start over Emmanuel Dennis on Saturday. Prior to injury, King had produced two shots on goal in five starts so even in the XI, opportunities aren't guaranteed.

Joshua King - Option against Toffees King (knee) is available for Saturday's trip to Everton, according to the team.
Impact King is again an option, but that doesn't mean he'll move into the starting XI under new manager Claudio Ranieri. Cucho Hernandez got his first start of the season last match, so it looks like those two could battle for starts going forward. King has managed no goals and two assists in five starts this season.

Kiko Femenia - Doubt to face Everton Femenia suffered a knock above his hip last weekend and is considered a doubt for Saturday's trip to Everton.
Impact Femenia has started the last four matches at right-back and was building up his fitness, but it looks like another issue could keep him out. If he's forced to miss time, Watford have a number of choices to fill in at full-back with Jeremy Ngakia being the last one to feature on the right side before Femenia.

Francisco Sierralta - Aiming to train next week Sierralta (hamstring) has been running outside and hopes to return to full training at the end of next week.
Impact There was a similar update on Sierralta a week ago, so it doesn't look like he's made a ton of progress. At this point, the center-back is probably two weeks away from a full return, meaning he won't return before the end of the month.

Nicolas N`Koulou - Building up fitness Nkoulou continues to build up his fitness and is now training with the team.
Impact Nkoulou was said to need three weeks of training to build up his fitness last week, so he may have another two weeks before he's an option. It's unclear what Claudio Ranieri has in store for Nkoulou, but given Watford's back line this season, he could be an immediate option to start.

William Troost-Ekong - Makes eight clearances during loss Troost-Ekong made two tackles (won one), one interception and eight clearances during Saturday's 5-0 loss to Liverpool.
Impact Troost-Ekong was busy defensively as Liverpool never really took their foot off the pedal. This was as difficult of a matchup as a defender can get and he'll look to bounce back during Saturday's trip to Everton.
OCTOBER 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Emmanuel Dennis - Quiet during loss Dennis made one tackle (won one) and drew one foul during Saturday's 5-0 loss to Liverpool.
Impact Dennis failed to produce anything of note as he didn't take a shot for the first time this season. He'll look to improve during Saturday's trip to Everton, which should be a much easier matchup than facing Liverpool.
OCTOBER 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Ismaila Sarr - Takes three shots during loss Sarr took three shots (one on goal) and put in two crosses (one accurate) during Saturday's 5-0 loss to Watford.
Impact Sarr paced Watford in shots taken but had a tough matchup against one of the league's better defensive sides in Liverpool. Sarr will look to bounce back during Saturday's trip to Everton.
OCTOBER 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Ben Foster - Concedes five during loss Foster made four saves and conceded five goals during Saturday's 5-0 loss to Watford.
Impact Foster was bombarded for the full 90 minutes and arguably could've conceded more had he not made a couple full stretch saves. This was always going to be a tough matchup and he should have a slightly easier matchup when Watford travel to Everton on Saturday.

From there, he'll have to impress the new manager after being benched in two matches prior to suffering this injury.
