Watford coach Javi Gracia has admitted Ismaila Sarr ‘needs time to be ready’ before he can make his debut for the Hornets.
The forward joined the Vicarage Road outfit on a five-year deal for a reported club-record fee of £40 million from Ligue 1 side Rennes this month.
Sarr was part of Senegal’s silver-winning squad in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations and only teamed up with Watford on Wednesday.
The 21-year-old winger has since joined the rest of the squad in training ahead of Hornets’ Premier League game against Everton on Saturday
But the 49-year-old Spanish tactician has insisted the new recruit will not be rushed into action.
