Watford manager Javi Gracia has insisted that midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure is fully committed to the Hornets, after Everton saw a bid for the Frenchman rejected before the transfer window closed.
Doucoure has never hidden his desire to leave Watford for a team in the Champions League, and he faced criticism from fans after an underwhelming performance in the club's 3-0 defeat to Brighton and Hove Albion which also saw him net an own goal.
Speaking to the Evening Standard ahead of Watford's clash with Everton on Saturday, Gracia insisted he would not hesitate to start Doucoure against the side who failed to sign him.
