The Hornets sit ninth in the Championship and have won just one of their last eight matches in all competitions. Additionally, striker David Datro Fofana’s loan at Goztepe has been ended early. The 22-year-old scored twice in nine league matches for the Turkish side but he has missed the last six games with a knee injury.
