# Watford: Fans delighted with rare good news as Troy Deeney returns

**It hasn’t been the easiest of rides for Watford fans this season.**

So far, they have played [11 games without a win](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/table) in the Premier League. Indeed, they sacked [Javi Gracia just four games into the season](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/sep/07/watford-sack-head-coach-javi-gracia-after-poor-start-to-the-season) after he took them to an FA Cup final and to 11th in the Premier League. Furthermore, they have been without their star forward Troy Deeney since August – so it’s fair to say fans haven’t had much good news to deal with.

Despite their appalling start, there is still room to believe for Watford with them just being [six points off 17th place](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/table).

Many fans are now thankful that have finally got some good news. Troy Deeney, as well as Etienne Capoue and Ismaila Sarr, have all returned to first-team training, the club announced.

Deeney has not been around since undergoing knee surgery back in August – and many fans are delighted that they can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel, as you can see from the responses below…

> We’ve missed Troy and Caps so badly, however I think our prem days are numbered.. 7 points minimum from our next 3 games or we’re gone ….\
> Although I love the championship
