Watford forward Isaac Success has shaken off his harmstring injury and will be available for Friday’s [today] Premier League clash With Cardiff City at Cardiff City Stadium, manager Javi Gracia has confirmed, reports Completesports.com.
Success, 23, has missed the Hornets’ last four games in all competitions as a result of the injury.
His last game for Watford before the injury-induced setback was the 2-1 defeat to London rivals Tottenham Hotspur on Januray 30 at the Wembley
Stadium.
“Roberto and Isaac are both ready to compete,” Gracia told a news conference.
“Roberto is a very important player, making the difference in a lot of games, scoring goals and assisting.
“Isaac hasn’t played the same minutes as other players, but the time he played, he played with quality and is helping the team.
He’s a good option in attack with his power and pace.”
Success’ return is a boost for Watford, who are in eighth spot on 37 points, two points behind Wolverhampton Wanderers, and still in with a chance of securing an European football next season.
The former Granada player has made 23 league appearances for Watford this season with just one goal to his name.

Hmmm,Is a good news, but more selection headache to SE coach
Good news and more selection headache to SE coach.
Good news for Success and Nigeria, however Success needs to alot more to convince fans and national selector of his worth.
Isaac Success was not even on the bench in their 5-1 hammering of Cardiff city. He needs to fight his way back into the first team or at least for playing time off the bench before he can be considered a “selection headache” for the SE. He has missed 5 games so far (4 injured and one selection) and he needs to gain the confidence of the Watford coach that he is ok to feature. But with Troy Deeney scoring two goals today and Deulofeu scoring a hat-trick,its going to be a battle to get back onto the pitch. Best bet is bench at this time
