Heidar Helguson is set to return to the Watford squad for the trip to West Brom.

The on-loan QPR striker has been sidelined since his second debut for the Hornets against Leicester last month, during which he scored twice before suffering a calf injury.

But Watford will be without teenage midfielder Ross Jenkins, who is set to see a specialist after suffering a back injury in Friday night's 4-1 win over Sheffield Wednesday.

Jenkins joins club captain Jay DeMerit on the sidelines as he continues his recovery from eye surgery.

The American centre-half hopes to return to action before Christmas.

Rookie goalkeeper Jonathan Bond, 16, will be on the bench again as Richard Lee has not recovered from his knee injury.
