Richarlison is available for Watford’s clash against Huddersfield Town on Saturday, according to reports.

The Brazilian was labelled as a doubt for the fixture after he was forced off with six minutes to go in the 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace on Tuesday evening.

Richarlison has been Watford’s standout star this season with five goals and four assists in 17 appearances so far.

According to the BBC, the 20-year-old is available for selection for Watford’s next clash against Huddersfield.

It’s also claimed that the reason for Richarlison’s late substitution against Crystal Palace was due to fatigue, rather than an injury which would keep him out of the Huddersfield game.



Only three days prior to the match against Palace, Richarlison had played 90 minutes in the 1-0 defeat away to Burnley.

Watford boss Marco Silva has also admitted he is unable to rest the Brazilian due to the lack of options in his squad.

‘It’s not the moment to [rest him] now, because we don’t have a lot of solutions in our attack line,’ said Silva.

‘If we did, maybe, but we’re playing with Richarlison and [Andre] Carrillo and in our squad we don’t have another winger.

‘Isaac [Success] is coming back but he needs to be match fit. We don’t have other solutions.’
