Tom Clevery hoping for timely Emmanuel Dennis's injury return after staring role in nervy win against Birmingham City
Watford FC head coach Tom Cleverley spoke to the media after Watford's 1-0 win at Birmingham City in his first game as Interim Head Coach lauding the Nigeria international for his crucial goal and playing his heart out despite his injury.
Emmanuel Dennis' goal just before half-time was enough to earn the Hornets a first win in five Sky Bet Championship matches, Nigeriasoccernet.com writes.
"We know that Dennis has got that explosive burst so as a defender you can think you’re comfortable on the ball and then he appears from nowhere".
"We spoke to the players, and we thought we would create chances from high regains today. We didn’t win as many balls as I would have liked, but one we did win mattered the most, so I’m pleased for Dennis".
'He’s had a small groin issue, so it was always in my mind that he wasn’t going to complete the game. He’s done well to get through the hour, score the winning goal, and hopefully he’s back for next week", Cleverly stated.
