Tom Watson Injury: Working up fitness

Watson is continuing to ramp up his fitness and is eyeing a return to play soon, according to manager Fabian Hurzeler, per Derren Howard of the Sussex Express. "Yeah, he's pushing, he's training. It's very important that he gets the whole training week without any modification, and then I'm sure that we will see him in the near future on the pitch. Maybe, maybe Oxford. Honestly, I don't know it yet. Maybe he's an option for Everton. Let's see the next few days."

Watson is still ramping up his fitness levels after missing the team sheet for their season opener and most of the pre-season, with the forward continuing to train this week. This should leave the forward nearing a return soon, as the manager seems to give the attacker a chance of seeing the field anytime now. However, it is unknown how large of a role he will hold after joining the team.
