Watford coach, Walter Mazzarri, has told Odion Ighalo to accept his decision to leave him on the bench against Leicester City next week and be ready when his time comes to start.
The Nigeria international has endured a slow start to this season, scoring only two goals for the Hornets.
Igahlo was left out of the starting team in their 2-1 win over the Premier League champions, as Mazzarri tweaked his formation.
The Italian manager has asked the striker, to continue working hard and wait for his chance, ahead of Sunday’s trip to Stoke City.
“There is no message,” Mazzarri replied when asked about Ighalo.
“What I do is watch my team during training, I study the next opponent and then make my decision on what is the best thing considering all these factors.
“Ighalo has been professional and accepted the decision. When he played, even when he didn’t score, he played as well as the whole team has done.
“When we lost and we played badly, he played badly with the whole team, there is no difference.
“I tell him he has to be ready when his moment comes.”
Watford are currently in eighth place with 18 points.
