Watford’s Success in doubt for Swansea tie

The forward could miss Saturday’s Premier League clash against the Swans after picking up an apparent muscle injury at Boro

Isaac Success is a doubt for Watford’s English Premier League clash against Swansea on Saturday after being forced off with an injury against Middlesborough .

The Nigerian’s strike sealed victory for the Hornets at the Riverside Stadium, and coach Walter Mazzarri has revealed that the forward is struggling to recover in time for the Liberty Stadium trip.

“He didn’t train for the whole week with the team so he is a doubt for the game. He might not be available,” Mazzarri told Watford Observer.

“After I substituted him [against Boro] because the physio told me during the game he was already hurting. I tried to keep him on as much as I could during the game.

“After the 90 minutes when we were back in the dressing room they had a look at him and confirmed he could not train for the next couple of days because of a muscular problem. Now we will see.

“Even in the past if you remember I’ve been saying he hasn’t trained regularly because of his muscle problems. He has been having problems in the upper side of the right leg. But I’m not a physio so I can’t confirm 100 per cent for you.”

Watford are 10th on the English topflight log with 11 points from eight games.
