Super Eagles defender, William Troost-Ekong is in contention to feature for his Championship club, Watford FC in the match against Blackburn Rovers, Bestchoicesports.com.ng understands.

Vladimir Ivić, Watford manager, confirmed that the former Udinese defender is available for the side’s home clash against Blackburn Rovers on Wednesday,

The centre-back was replaced by Craig Cathcart 20 minutes from time in Friday’s 1-0 win at Derby County.

Troost-Ekong took full part in training on Monday morning and looks to have shaken off the slight problem he had in his left hamstring at Pride Park on Friday night.

“I expect he’ll be available for this game and to give us his best,” Ivic told the club’s official website.

“He has quality and will help us for sure. We must be patient with him as he needs to adjust with new players.

“He needs to have information about the players and the players need to have information about him and his qualities. He is experienced and he’ll adjust fast.”

Troost-Ekong recently joined Watford from Serie A club Udinese on a five-year contract.

This is also coming as a relief to coach Gernot Rohr who is banking on the experienced defender as the Super Eagles file out against Sierra Leone next month in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations race.
