Ismaili Sarr has found himself frozen out at Watford due to manager Quique Sanchez Flores.

That's according to RMC Sport's Salim Baungally, who says the former Rennes star has suffered after the sacking of Javi Gracia.

He explained, "Basically, Watford had attacking players already in place when Ismaïla Sarr arrived. (Gerard) Deulofeu, (Will) Hughes, (Troy) Deeney ... Yet Javi Garcia made sure to integrate him gradually. The worry is that Sarr's performances have not been hard-hitting. In this, he was little helped by the team that did not win a single match in the Premier League.

"Quique Sanchez Flores has another way of playing. He bases himself on Deulofeu who is his number one player. He made André Gray an important player. And the one who pays the price is Ismaïla Sarr. Like (Christian) Pulisic, who had to wait for Chelsea to become an often-used player, Sarr will have to wait."
