Ismaila Sarr: Watford winger out for at least a month with knee ligament injury
Watford winger Ismaila Sarr has been ruled out for at least a month with a knee ligament injury.
Sarr, 23, was injured in the 4-1 victory against Manchester United in the Premier League on November 20 and he now appears set to miss the entire festive programme.
The club say he will undergo a further scan on the issue „in around a month’s time“, with his participation for Senegal in the Africa Cup of Nations – being held from January 9 until February 6 – now in doubt.
Ben Foster will also be out injured until January, having missed Sunday’s defeat to Leicester due to a groin strain he had been nursing in recent games.
On Monday, the goalkeeper denied claims he sustained the injury playing in a charity match for Hashtag United.
„Unfortunately I injured my groin in training on the Thursday before the Leicester City game, hopefully nothing too major!“ he posted on Twitter.
„It certainly had nothing to do with my 15-minute cameo in a charity kickabout earlier in the week! Hope to be back soon.“
Centre-back Nicolas Nkoulou, signed on a free transfer in October, will also be absent until January after picking up a hamstring injury towards the end of the Manchester United match.
Watford host league leaders Chelsea at Vicarage Road on Wednesday, with in-form forward Emmanuel Dennis an injury doubt after sustaining an unspecified injury against Leicester.
