Walter Mazzari has submitted his Watford squad for the remainder of the 2016/17 season to the Premier League after making a number of additions in the January transfer window.
Fresh faces
All of their new signings - Tom Cleverley, Mauro Zarate and M’Baye Niang - are included in the 24-man squad. There is also a place for back-up goalkeeper Giedrius Arlauskis in the wake of an injury to Costel Pantilimon, which he suffered in the 1-0 FA Cup defeat at Millwall.
Cleverley and Niang have both impressed since arriving, with both playing a key role in Tuesday’s stunning win against Arsenal at The Emirates Stadium.
Former West Ham and QPR frontman Zarate has yet to feature as he was serving the remainder of a three match ban that he was handed in Italy. The Argentine is available to face Burnley this weekend and could make his debut.
Absentees
Club-record signing Roberto Pereyra is the most notable absentee from the list. The former Juventus man is set to be out until the last knockings of the campaign with a knee injury he suffered at Manchester City in December and so was not given a place in the Premier League squad.
Another man left out is full back Brice Dja DjeDje. The Ivorian made his long-awaited debut against Burton in the FA Cup and also featured at Millwall but he has been overlooked.
Watford's Technical Director Filippo Giraldi said: “Brice is continuing his work with the fitness team as well as the first team. He is part of our future plan.”
