Mazzarri waits on Okaka and Prodl

Walter Mazzarri has to wait to see whether Sebastian Prodl and Stefano Okaka will be able to play against Crystal Palace on Boxing Day.

Prodl went off with a dead leg during the first half at Sunderland last weekend, while Okaka has been out with a hamstring injury, but both were in light training this week.

As for Roberto Pereyra’s knee injury, the Watford manager is looking for a much later return.

"With an injury like this there are many variables and many changes that can happen, so it depends on many things," Mazzarri told watfordfc.com. "For sure he will be out for some months."
