GETTING BACK IN THE OF THINGS

Craig Cathcart is hoping to make up for lost time tonight.

The Watford defender has yet to kick a ball in the World Cup qualifying campaign due to a groin/hernia injury but is now fit and raring to go. “It was frustrating not being with the team and being around the squad but I always like to watch games if I’m injured to see how the lads are getting on,” said the former Manchester United ace.

“Watching the first few games I thought we were brilliant. We put ourselves in a fantastic position at the start of the campaign. “We’ve a big game against Norway now, one of the teams who will be fighting with us for second place. “It’s really good to be back; I’ve been looking forward to this for months.”
