Watford have recalled midfielder Leo Ramirez-Espain from a loan spell at National League club Yeovil Town.
The 19-year-old joined the Glovers last month and was due to stay with them until the end of January.
But Watford say head coach Javi Gracia wants Ramirez-Espain back because several of his players have been called up for the African Cup of Nations.
Ramirez-Espain made two substitute appearances in the League Cup early in the season, having been part of the team that reached the FA Youth Cup semi-finals in 2024-25.
