Watford have injury doubts over several players ahead of Saturday's home game against West Ham United.

Defenders Sebastian Prodl and Craig Cathcart are struggling for fitness while midfielder Valon Behrami is battling to be available for the televised clash at Vicarage Road.

Head coach Walter Mazzarri said: “I have written a list. Christian Kabasele and Nordin Amrabat are injured while Prodl, Cathcart and Behrami are doubts. They had some problems during training but we still have to evaluate them.

“I’m not sure [how it will affect his side] because three of them are not badly injured so I hope to have them ready for the game. Now we have a mostly complete squad so it’s not a problem.”

The Hornets remain without Kabasele and Amrabat although the Morocco attacker, who has been out since the start of the year, is close to returning from his ankle injury.

Mazzarri said: “Amrabat I saw him run yesterday and he was running very good.

"Of course he still has to do some specific training and then it’s just a matter of getting his condition back because it’s been a long time. But I think we’re close to seeing him back.”

Mid-table Watford go into Saturday's game, which kicks off at 5.30pm, ten points clear of the relegation zone after winning two of their last three matches.
