Watford blow as Deeney sidelined with hamstring

Watford have been dealt a blow with the news that Troy Deeney will miss some weeks with a hamstring injury.

The Hornets captain, who recently signed a new four-year deal, sustained the injury in the 1-0 win over Blackpool on Tuesday night and is now set to be sidelined 'for a matter of weeks' according to the Vicarage Road club.

Deeney has scored three goals in the Championship so far this season for Oscar Garcia's side who sit third on the table with five wins and two defeats.

Watford, who take on AFC Bournemouth at home on Saturday, will be able to welcome back Fernando Forestieri and Gianni Munari to the line-up in Denney's absence as they return from respective injury problems.
