Watford will be without Abdoulaye Doucoure for his match against Tottenham Hotspur Wednesday night, while Kiko Femenia and Sebastian Prodl will also remain injured.
Hornets head coach Javi Gracia had hoped that Doucoure and Femenia would be available for the midweek game at Wembley, but they could not come back.
Gracia said: "We are in the same situation as last week, Prodl, Femenia and Doucoure are not training with the team and we are waiting for the moment they come back.
"Doucoure is an important player for us, he has a small knee problem.It improves day by day, but it is not enough to play and train with him. team.
"A week ago, I thought it would be ready faster, but it was not possible."
According to recent reports, forward Gerard Deulofeu was reportedly transferred to AC Milan, but Gracia said he did not know and was simply focused on preparing Spurs.
"Honestly, I do not know anything about it, it's true, I do not spend a lot of time reading or listening to information."
"I think he is comfortable here, he feels good, his current goal is to improve his level and try to help the team.
"I do not have news of the club, I am focused on team training and for the moment, I have no news."
Earlier this season, Watford beat Tottenham 2-1 at Vicarage Road and Gracia wants his team to be aggressive in his quest for a double in the league.
He said, "You have to play at a high level and very well, and after that you may have some chances to get points.
"In playing, we are going to have a very good defensive job.
"They have high quality players and we have to defend ourselves, but in the time we have, we have to be aggressive and try to seize the opportunities we create."
