Alby a doubt for Watford

Last updated : 10 April 2008 By Wba-mad Editor

Martin Albrechtsen looks set to miss the weekend's clash with Watford due to the groin strain which forced him off against Blackpool. Although the Danish defender is winning his battle back to full fitness, Tony Mowbray has revealed the centre-half may be rested for the Hornets visit.

"Martin's alright," Mowbray said.

"The scans showed no tear, strain or any other damage really.

"As I suspected on the night, it was just a fatigue injury - a tired groin.

"That said, we'll wait and see whether we decide to give him the extra few days and start him training at the weekend or on Monday.

"The good news is that he'll definitely be back training on Monday.

"We could consider using him on Saturday but probably won't."

Albrechtsen is now expected to fit for the trip to near neighbours, Wolves.
