Ben Foster - Starting against Norwich Foster (hamstring) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Norwich.
Impact Foster has recovered from a back injury and immediately takes the spot of Daniel Bachmann in net for Watford. It's unknown who will be the guy going forward, but it appears Foster has the leg up, as he's only just returned from injury.

Kiko Femenia - In starting XI Saturday Femenia (groin) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Norwich.
Impact It's the first appearance of the season for Femenia because of a groin injury and he's surprisingly immediately back in the starting XI. It's a favorable spot for production, though he produced just three crosses in his lone start against Norwich last season.

Ben Foster - Available again Foster has recovered from his hamstring injury and will be available going forward.
Impact Foster has missed the first month of the season because of a hamstring injury, but it looks like he's back and ready to feature on the bench. He started 23 matches last season, but he's expected to be the backup to Daniel Bachmann this campaign.

Joao Pedro - Will miss Norwich trip Pedro (knee) is training in full but will miss Saturday's match against Norwich City.
Impact Pedro was a late-test last weekend, so this update is a bit surprising. He's been training fully for a couple weeks now and is likely working on his fitness at this point. Once ready, he gives Watford another option to use up front.
SEPTEMBER 16, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Kiko Femenia - 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.

Francisco Sierralta - Scores own goal in loss Sierralta scored an own goal in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Wolverhampton, while making two tackles (one won) and eight clearances.
Impact Sierralta led his side in clearances, but also scored agains his own net in the 74th minute to give the Wolves the 1-0 lead. The centerback started two games in a row, and will now look to get the nod again at Norwich on Saturday.
SEPTEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Emmanuel Dennis - Makes three tackles in loss Dennis took one off-target shot, sent in two inaccurate crosses, made three tackles (two won) and one interception and picked up a yellow card in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Wolverhampt...
Impact Dennis made the second-most tackles for his side, while taking five of their six corner kicks, but otherwise had a pretty quiet outing. The forward also received his second straight yellow card, though. He will now look to get on the scoresheet when they visit Norwich on Saturday.
SEPTEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Danny Rose - Makes three interceptions in debut Rose created one chance, sent in three inaccurate crosses, made one tackle (won), three interceptions, two clearances and one block and picked up a yellow card in Saturday's 2-0 lo...
Impact Rose made his season debut and a pretty good defensive outing, but not enough to help them earn at least one point at home. The left-back led his side in interceptions, but also received a yellow card. He will look to get the nod again at Norwich on Saturday.
SEPTEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Oghenekaro Etebo - Makes five tackles in loss Etebo registered two off-target shots, one inaccurate cross, five tackles (four won), one clearance and a yellow card in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Wolverhampton.
Impact Etebo led his side in shots and tackles, but it wasn't enough to avoid the home loss. The midfielder also received his third yellow card in four games, though. That's something to keep in mind when they visit Norwich on Saturday.
SEPTEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Daniel Bachmann - Makes four saves in loss Bachmann made four saves and one clearance in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Wolverhampton.
Impact Bachmann had a good outing, but couldn't avoid the home loss with two late goals. The goalkeeper has yet to keep a clean sheet in the season, something he will look to achieve when they visit Norwich on Saturday.

Kiko Femenia - 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.
SEPTEMBER 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Ben Foster - Remains out Foster will remain out Saturday against Wolves because of a hamstring injury but is expected to return to training next week.
Impact Foster is no longer the starter for Watford, so his absence doesn't change anything. Daniel Bachmann will continue to start with Robert Elliot replacing Foster on the bench.
SEPTEMBER 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Joao Pedro - Back in full training Pedro (knee) is back in full training and will be assessed ahead of Saturday's match against Wolverhampton.
Impact Pedro only recently returned to full training, so he's unlikely to make an appearance Saturday given his absence since July. At this point, it makes more sense to come off the bench a couple times before being an option to start and even then, he'll need to fight for a job in the attack.
SEPTEMBER 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Craig Cathcart - Featuring over break Cathcart has featured for Northern Ireland over the break, returning from a prior ankle issue.
Impact Cathcart left in Watford's last match with an apparent ankle injury, but it clearly wasn't bad enough to hold him out for international duty. Assuming he's fit and healthy after the break, he should remain in the XI at right-back unless Xisco Munoz decides to change things up.
SEPTEMBER 8, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Francisco Sierralta - Starts most recent match Sierralta has started just one of Watford's opening three matches this season.
Impact The one match was their most recent before the international break, playing 90 minutes against Tottenham. The defender will likely continue in a sporadic role for Watford.
SEPTEMBER 7, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Christian Kabasele - Two starts so far Kabasele has started two of Watford's three games so far this season.
Impact Kabasele drew starts in the opening two matches of the year but was on the bench in Watford's most recent match against Tottenham. The defender leads the Hornets with three blocks so far this year.
