Chelsea vs Watford early team news : Two Super Eagles stars ruled out

Two Nigeria internationals in the shape of Emmanuel Dennis and Oghenekaro Etebo are certainly out of the Premier League clash between Chelsea and Watford at Stamford Bridge on the final day of the season.

Through their official website, Watford have provided early team news before their short trip to the English capital.

Watford's relegation was sealed approximately two weeks ago after they were beaten 1-0 by Crystal Palace.

The Hornets confirmed that Roy Hodgson will definitely be without Etebo after he picked up a training ground injury.

The Stoke City-owned midfielder moved to Vicarage Road last summer on a season-long loan but the transfer has not gone according to plan, with only four starts in the Premier League, largely due to an injury which sidelined him for five months.

Dennis had an outstanding first half of the season, only for his goals to dry up in 2022.

The 24-year-old is still recovering from a knee injury he sustained against Palace on May 7, so he's not in contention to face Chelsea.

Etebo and Dennis have both been named in the latest Nigeria squad for the upcoming friendlies against Mexico and Ecuador.
