Watford's Transfer Woes Deepen After Traore Injury
Watford's transfer market woes have deepened after Omar Traore suffered a head injury in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Wrexham. The Hornets now have just three senior defenders, putting more pressure on the club to go back into the transfer market before deadline day.
Traore's contribution before he came off injured was key. He provided the cross from which Luca Kjerrumgaard's headed the opener 13 minutes in, and won a number of challenges in a first half where Watford were more resolute in both defence and turning over the ball to the counter-attacking speed required under the style of play demanded by new manager Alessio Dionisi.
Why It Matters for Watford
Traore's injury has left the Hornets with a defensive headache, and the transfer market may have to provide the solution. The club's current league standing is 16th in the Championship, with 57 points from 46 games, and a recent form of LLLLL.
Watford will be looking to strengthen their defence before the transfer deadline, and the club's management will be under pressure to make a move. The Hornets have already lost the last five games, and the recent form of LLLLL is a cause for concern.
