Watford midfielder Nathaniel Chalobah is set to have surgery on a knee injury he suffered in training last week.
Chalobah had impressed for the Premier League club since his close-season move from Chelsea.
However, Watford performance director Gavin Benjafield confirmed the 22-year-old, who was called into the England squad for their previous World Cup qualifiers, is now set for an extended spell on the sidelines.

"Whilst
we can't put an exact timeline on his recovery, we are expecting to see
him re-integrating into the squad well before the New Year," Benjafield
told Watford's website.Chalobah's absence will be a blow to
Hornets boss Marco Silva, whose side had made a strong start to the
season thanks in part to their midfielder's impressive form.
