Watford manager Marco Silva has revealed that Younes Kaboul and Will Hughes look set to be unavailable for the club's Christmas run.
The Hornets will be looking to consolidate on their fantastic start to the season by going on a good run during the upcoming busy Christmas period in the Premier League.
Silva said: "I think it is important for you to know what has happened. It is a big concern for us as a team and I repeat every day that he is a really important player for us.
"We will see in the next weeks for him. It is not something that has come fast for him and I think during December it is impossible for him to play."
