Midfielder still has fluid on his knee

Influential Watford midfielder Damien Francis could be back within 'two to three weeks' to aid the Hornets' promotion push. The 28-year-old has been sidelined for more than a month with a knee problem and there is still fluid on his knee. But he could be back soon for this crucial phase of the season. Commenting on the situation, Watford manager Aidy Boothroyd said: "Damien is not ready. "He played 11 games straight after being out injured and there's still a little bit of fluid on his knee. "We're looking at two to three weeks with him still."
