Watford could have two players missing against Leeds United
Watford could have Daniel Bachmann and Tom Cleverley missing against Leeds United, according to a report from Leeds Live.
They claim that the goalkeeper and midfielder are early injury doubts for the Hornets, with Bachmann said to have a knee injury.
The former Manchester United midfielder Cleverley was brought off against Newcastle United due to a concussion and might not be allowed to play on Saturday.
Early boost for Leeds.
It is unclear what Leeds’ injury situation is going to be like this week, but this is positive news for the Whites.
Bachmann is an Austrian international and started the season as Watford’s first-choice goalkeeper, while Cleverley has played five games this season for the Hornets and has bags of Premier League experience.
Watford have actually started the season reasonably well and are sitting on seven points from their first six games, while the Whites are still searching for that first league win.
You would think that this match represents a good chance for Marcelo Bielsa’s side to get their season underway, and with or without Bachmann and Cleverley, they have to look at this as a big opportunity.
We would argue that player for player apart from Ismaila Sarr, the Whites are better than the Hornets, and we would hope they can get their first league win of the season.
