Watford head coach reveals more senior players doubtful for trip to Tottenham Hotspur

Walter Mazzarri revealed more fitness concerns over several Watford first-team players but insisted it will present opportunities to other members of his squad when they travel to Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.

The Watford manager said yesterday that Etienne Capoue, Heurelho Gomes, Troy Deeney, Tom Cleverley and Abdoulaye Doucoure are all doubts for Saturday’s early kick-off.

“I told my players this morning that whoever is going to play Saturday has the chance to show that they deserve to have been playing in the past as well,” Mazzarri said.
