Watford wingers Othmane Maamma and Kwadwo Baah will not be available until after next month's international break.

The duo were both forced off in last weekend's Championship win over Derby and missed Tuesday night's home defeat by Ipswich.

Watford have four Championship fixtures before the March break, with games then resuming from 3 April.

"They will be out for a good number of weeks," head coach Ed Still told BBC Three Counties Radio.

"They will probably not be involved before the international break."

The Hornets visit Bristol City on Friday night (20:00 GMT) having dropped six points off the play-off pace but Still is hopeful defender Saba Goglichidze will be fit for the trip to Ashton Gate after also being sidelined for the Ipswich loss.

"We hope to recover Saba," added Still. "He wasn't fit enough to play a part on Tuesday."

Watford have failed to win away from home since a 1-0 victory at Norwich on 29 December.
