Kalu, Dele-Bashiru rejoin Watford for pre-season

Winger Samuel Kalu and midfielder Tom Dele-Bashiru rejoined Watford first-team squad for pre-season training on Tuesday after returning to full fitness, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.

The duo only made one appearance between them in 2023 due to injuries.

Kalu, who made a bright start under former coach Slaven Bilic, last played on January 2, making nine appearances last season, with seven of them as substitute.

Dele-Bashiru on his part last played against Swansea December 30, 2022, limping off with an ankle ligament injury which ended his season.

On January 26, 2022, Kalu joined Watford from Bordeaux on a three-and-a-half year deal.
