“Nathaniel Chalobah and William Troost-Ekong – both of whom were substituted as an injury precaution last Friday night at home to Reading – are pushing to be part of the plans for the trip to Luton Town this weekend, with a final call on their involvement tomorrow (Friday),”reads a statement on the club website.
The 27-year-old has featured in 29 league games for the Hornets this season with a goal to his name.
Should Watford subdue Luton on Saturday, it will help their bid to return to the Premier League.
As it stands, Watford are second on the table having accrued 82 points from 41 matches.
