Watford's injury crisis deepens as boss Walter Mazzarri claims his side are 'without a defence' at Tottenham

Watford coach Walter Mazzarri will face Tottenham 'without a defence' as the Hornets' injury crisis intensified ahead of Saturday's Premier League clash.

Centre back Younes Kaboul suffered a hamstring injury against Sunderland and defender Sebastian Prodl is recovering from a rib injury, while centre back Miguel Britos is suspended.

There was a small piece of good news for the Italian boss, however, as defender Christian Kabasele returned to full training after two months out with a hip problem.

Striker Troy Deeney and midfielders Tom Cleverley and Abdoulaye Doucoure are all 'very fatigued', according to Mazzarri, while Etienne Capoue, Valon Behrami and goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes are also doubts.
