Watford midfielder pair to miss Man Utd clash

Watford pair Ozan Tufan and Juraj Kucka are set to miss the weekend clash with Manchester United.

Kucka will not be able to play due to a suspension after he was sent off in the closing stages of the defeat at Arsenal, while Tufan was sent home from international duty with Turkey after picking up a knee injury.

Tufan is not expected to have recovered by this weekend, although the problem is not thought to be enough to rule him out long term and he may even be able to return in time for the trip to Leicester City the following week, when Kucka will also be back, says the Watford Observer.

Tufan has started four of Watford's last six matches, while teammate Kucka has only missed one league match so far this season due to injury.
