Watford are going into this weekend's game with Crystal Palace with an almost fully-fit squad to choose from.

The Hornets' head coach Javi Gracia has confirmed that Andre Gray and Christian Kabasele have both returned to full training today (Thursday) ahead of the game, meaning they are both now in contention to feature at Selhurst Park on Saturday.

As a result, Gracia says that he has 26 players ready for the game, with defender Sebastian Prodl the only player currently out injured with a knee problem.

Gray, who has scored three goals so far this season, has been out since last month with a lower leg injury, while Kabasele has been out since Boxing Day after taking a heavy blow to his side when playing against Chelsea.

But while Gracia said that both players may not be ready to start, he has not ruled out them featuring in his matchday squad for the game in south London.

"It's a little bit soon for them to play in one or two days, but we'll see," the Watford head coach said at his pre-match press conference.

"We have more options and I think it will be better if we continue, keep training and we'll see our evolution."

And with Stefano Okaka joining Udinese on loan for the rest of the season, Gray could now be competing with Adalberto Penaranda for the second striking option on the bench after the Venezuelan made his debut for the Hornets in their 2-0 win at Woking in the FA Cup on Sunday.

Gracia added that he felt a loan deal for Okaka was the best decision for all parties, with the Italian striker finding his opportunities limited at Watford so far this season.

Marvin Zeegelaar has also made the move to Udinese on loan for the rest of the season, with Gracia admitting that it was decided that it was better for the left-back to make this step, having not featured for the Hornets' first team since last February.
