Watford confirm injury boost but several others to miss out against West Ham

Watford have been handed a boost ahead of Saturday’s home clash with West Ham United, with Omar Traore available for selection.

The right-back is fit to face the Hammers after being replaced by Albert Eames during last weekend’s 1-1 draw at Wrexham.

However, the Hornets remain without five players through injury.

Marc Bola is sidelined with a hamstring problem, while Kwadwo Baah is recovering from a thigh injury.

Jeremy Ngakia remains out with a hamstring issue, while Jack Grieves is recovering from a knee problem and Travis Akomeah is sidelined with a foot injury.

Akomeah is expected to return to on-pitch training next week as he continues his rehabilitation.
