Watford’s Daryl Janmaat facing spell out after knee surgery

The Holland international will be sidelined for around six weeks.

Watford defender Daryl Janmaat has been ruled out for up to six weeks after undergoing minor knee surgery.

Janmaat has been an ever-present in the Hornet’s six Premier League games this season and started Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Fulham.

But the 29-year-old Dutch international now faces a spell of rehabilitation that will see him miss the whole of October.

“Daryl Janmaat will not take action in the coming weeks,” read a statement from Janmaat’s representatives, Wasserman Group, issued to Sky Sports.

“Due to the small intervention on the meniscus of his right knee, Janmaat is out for the coming weeks.

“This means that he not only has to miss the upcoming matches of his club Watford in the Premier League and League Cup, but also has to miss the matches against Germany (on October 13) and Belgium (on October 16).”
