Mazzarri eyes green light for Gomes

Premier League champions Leicester City visit Watford this weekend and Walter Mazzarri hopes they will have Heurelho Gomes to beat.

Watford head coach Walter Mazzarri hopes to have first-choice goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes available when his side host Premier League champions Leicester City on Saturday.

Gomes suffered a knee injury last time out at Liverpool, meaning understudy Costel Pantilimon was forced to endure the majority of a 6-1 thrashing.

"Gomes should be back. We will verify in the next couple of days but he should be back, so we are happy about this," Mazzarri told a pre-match news conference.
