Mazzarri rues 'bad injury' for Janmaat

Watford could be without Daryl Janmaat until December as a frustrated Walter Mazzarri waits for results on his shoulder scan.

Walter Mazzarri has rued "a bad injury" suffered by in-form defender Daryl Janmaat that could rule him out for a lengthy period.

The Watford right-back had to be replaced after 51 minutes of the club's 3-1 win over Manchester United last weekend with a shoulder problem, having earlier set up the opening goal for Etienne Capoue.

Despite avoiding a dislocated shoulder, reports suggest he is set to miss around six weeks of action if it is confirmed he has suffered a hairline fracture.
