Helguson misses Boro trip

Heidar Helguson has been ruled out of Watford's game with Middlesbrough on Saturday. The 32-year-old, who may also miss next Tuesday's match with Ipswich, was hoping to be fit for the match against Boro but manager Malky Mackay didn't want to risk further injury by hurrying him back. "We don't want to rush him in for the sake of an extra two or three days and lose him for a couple of months," he told the Watford Observer. "Our fitness department have worked very well and hard with him in terms of his rehab and the proper way he should recover from this calf strain and for the sake of Saturday and Tuesday... it is probably looking more like Friday but I am not discounting Tuesday."
