Watford boss Marco Silva is tight lipped over the future of Etienne Capoue.

The French midfielder sat out last weekend's 0-0 at Aston Villa and was a second-half substitute in yesterday's stalemate with Real Sociedad.

Silva said: "I don't want to talk about what the newspapers have written, but normally I don't have many problems in my career.

"Everything is clear, I know what I want for the team and so do the players, and everything I solve directly with my players.

"He worked hard when he came on, and that's what I want from my players."
