Watford striker, Isaac Success has popped up into the plans of the club’s boss, Marco Silva, as the gaffer is already talking of the permutations he would make when the star returns to full fitness.

Success has been troubled by off-field and fitness issues, as he got into a sex scandal at a point he was recovering from surgery in Spain, but The Hornets’ manager is still keeping the striker in mind.

Such was revealed by Silva, when he noted that having the former Udinese of Italy and Granada of Spain hitman back to full fitness would add to the team’s battle for shirts upfront.

Off the pitch incident like the one involving his brawl with four prostitutes in an hotel have made his case worst but Silva is still hopeful that the big money buy from Granada will prove his worth once fit.

Success has been out of action for weeks now due to a leg injury and has not featured much for Watford, who sit in eight position in the Premier League table and will face Newcastle United on Saturday.

Ahead of the fixture, Silva admitted he is banking on the return of Success and the club’s other injured players to help improve their fortunes in front of goal.

Silva said: ”Competition for places will be even fiercer once, in time, Younès Kaboul, Isaac Success, Nathaniel Chalobah and Craig Cathcart are restored to full fitness.

“We’ll see what happens in the next weeks. I hope as soon as possible as they are important players for us. I want everybody ready to play and ready to compete so then I can take my decision [on who starts]. “When they come back, it will be very good for us as a team. We can improve. We are stronger with all our players ready to play. I need to have problems in my head, in my mind to decide the starting XI. I’m sure we’ll improve when those players come back
