Watford boss Roy Hodgson is happy for Ismaila Sarr after he helped Senegal win the Africa Cup of Nations.
Watford weren't that keen on Sarr going to the AFCON given he had been carrying a knee injury that had kept him out for two months.
And now Sarr has enjoyed the success of Senegal winning the tournament for the first time, Hodgson hopes to have him involved for tomorrow's trip to West Ham.
"Great achievement for Senegal to win tournament for the first time," he said. "It was great for him to win, now we badly need him for us and the earlier the better.
"He is fit, so there won't be any problems, and he seems to have recovered from injury. If he is back in time, hopefully we will able to use him."
Hodgson is yet to be told by Watford staff when Sarr is due back in the UK.
