Watford boss Tom Cleverley has revealed Tom Dele-Bashiru's recovery from a knee injury has suffered a setback.

The midfielder has not played since a 3-0 defeat by Luton on 19 October.

"Kevin Keben and Angelo Ogbonna are still out, and Tom Dele's suffered a setback in his rehab, so that's this week's bad news," Cleverley told BBC Three Counties Radio.

Watford have won two of their past three Championship matches and are fifth in the table as they prepare to host QPR on Saturday, and the Watford head coach has had some good news on the injury front this week.

"Daniel Jebbison is back in training [on Friday], and I'm expecting him to come through that and be available for the weekend," he said.

Forward Jebbison missed the draw at Plymouth last Friday and Tuesday's win over Bristol City due to what Cleverley described as "a niggle" injury.
