Troy waits on cap fit

- BY MIKE WALTERS

WATFORD striker Troy Deeney has been given no guarantees by new boss Marco Silva that he will still be captain this season.

And the Hornets star faces a fitness fight for their Premier League opener against Liverpool following groin surgery.

Leicester had a £20million bid for Deeney turned down, and Silva said: “I want to keep Troy, you are talking about a player who has scored many goals in the past.

“And I don’t have a reason to change my captain, but I haven’t spoken to the players and they will know first.”
