Jay-Jay Okocha will miss out against Watford but both Henrik Pedersen and Richard Garcia have been passed fit to play.

Okocha is making good progress from a knee injury but has not recovered enough to face the Hornets in the first leg of the play-off semi-final at Vicarage Road.

However Garcia (shoulder) and Pedersen (calf) will be able to play from the start according to boss Phil Brown after the duo both took part in training today.

"Richard Garcia and Henrik Pedersen both trained and Jay-Jay Okocha has trained as hard as anyone I've ever seen with a physio" said Brown. "But he still hasn't trained with the first-team so he isn't going to be available for tomorrow. Richard and Henrik will both be able to start though."

It is hoped Okocha will now be fit for the return leg on Wednesday.
