"Regarding the game against Watford, he'll try to run today (Thursday) and if he's good then maybe he has a chance to be in the squad for Saturday. I don't want to rule him out for Watford.
"This is not a big injury but he needs to play, he needs to be available and hopefully he will train tomorrow."
