Middlesbrough striker Will Lankshear a doubt for Watford match

Middlesbrough striker Will Lankshear is considered a doubt for the upcoming Championship match against Watford at Vicarage Road. Lankshear, who has scored 15 goals in 16 games across all competitions this season, has not been participating in full training following an injury sustained against Charlton Athletic.

Reports suggest the club is unlikely to risk the 21-year-old attacker ahead of the international break. Middlesbrough, currently top of the table, may need to rely on Kyle Joseph to fill the void in their attack.

Watford also face selection challenges ahead of the Saturday fixture. Manager Alessio Dionisi is awaiting a late assessment on striker Myron Boadu, who is dealing with knee issues. Additionally, Watford will be without midfielder Hector Kyprianou due to suspension, though Martin Payero is expected to be available for selection.
