Troy Deeney can be a doubt for Watford's home clash against Derby while Almen Abdi and Davide Faraoni definitely lose out. Six-goal leading scorer Deeney is being affected by a calf injury and faces a late fitness test before the encounter at Vicarage Road because the Hornets reunite into action following the international break.
Abdi continues to sit out with all the foot injury which has sidelined him considering that the end of August, while fellow midfielder Faraoni serves single-match suspension having collected his fifth booking of the season from the 2-1 win at Huddersfield last respite.
Long-term absentees Nyron Nosworthy (Achilles) and Tommie Hoban (ankle) also remain unavailable although former is closing in upon his return.
Will Hughes stands a high probability to be fit for Derby. The highly-rated midfielder was forced to withdraw through the England Under-21 squad having a groin injury but after receiving treatment Hughes has trained immediately and Steve McClaren is optimistic of needing him available for his first road game since becoming the Rams' head coach.
Fellow teenager Mason Bennett could start front after impressing McClaren through the bench against Leeds a fortnight ago and following that on top of further good performances for your England Under-19 side.
Midfielders Paul Coutts (dislocated kneecap), Jeff Hendrick (ankle) and James Bailey (knee) and goalkeeper Adam Legzdins (ankle) remain out injured.
