Watford will be without Marlon King for Saturday's clash with Tottenham after the striker's knee injury failed to respond to treatment in time.

King, who has struck twice this term, missed last weekend's draw at Charlton and the midweek Carling Cup victory over Hull City, but was expected to return for the clash with Spurs.

But disappointed Hornets boss Adrian Boothroyd has revealed that despite resting during the week, the Jamaica international isn't ready to make a return.

"We were hoping to welcome Marlon back but the medical team have advised that he needs further rest at this stage," he told the club's official website.

"We'll carry on monitoring the situation on a daily basis."
