'Watford Have Very Good Players'
Enzo Maresca previews Leicester City's upcoming Sky Bet Championship encounter with Watford.
Will Alves and Sammy Braybrooke, two exciting Development Squad midfielders, have been out for long spells due to ACL injuries sustained last season. With Alves, having starred for the Club's Under-21s outfit, back training with the First Team, Maresca is monitoring his progress.
"I saw him (Alves) many times," the Italian continued. "He works with us, not always, some days when we need him. He looks okay, he looks back. I’m happy for him. He’s a young boy and he needs to enjoy football.
