Watford boss Javi Gracia relieved to have defensive pair return

Watford boss Javi Gracia says Christian Kabasele and Craig Cathcart are fit for their six pointer against Huddersfield.

A 2-1 loss at home to Burnley last weekend left the Hornets without a win in four matches, and they are stuck on 37 points.

"Both are in full training so then I have to make a decision and see if it's the best moment for them to play, what the team needs in this moment, and I'll try to balance that and make a good decision," Gracia said of Cathcart and Kabasele.

He added: "There were a lot of injured players when I arrived and now I have more options to choose from.

"I think it's the best news for the team because every player competes to play in the next game."
