Watford manager Javi Gracia will not be rushing Gerard Deulofeu back to action.

The Spaniard has been out with a groin strain.

Gracia said: "Gerard has a little pain, but it is better to wait one week more because we are in September and we have time.

"It is better to recover the players well and when they come back they will be ready to play and train without pain. I am not concerned about his situation.

"In this moment it is not easy for him but when he is back he will be ready to play during all the season and will show what he can do."
