ISMAILA SARR and Jeremy Ngakia are major injury doubts for Watford’s Championship meeting with Sunderland on Saturday.

Forward Sarr rolled his ankle in the first half of Tuesday’s 2-0 defeat at Blackburn, while defender Ngakia was substituted later in that match due to a hamstring issue.

Left-back Hassane Kamara will be assessed after missing the last two games due to a muscle strain.

Captain Tom Cleverley is closing in on a first-team return following a calf problem but fellow midfielder Imran Louza remains sidelined as he continues his recovery from knee surgery at the end of last season.
