Relegated English Premier League side Watford played their second pre season game ahead of their campaign in the English Championship next season.
The team stepped up their preparation by moving to Austria where they will play couple of games before returning back to England for final round of preparations.
They took on Greek side Panathinaikos earlier today in one of the games they will play in Austria and it had as many as four Nigerians playing for the London side.
It ended in a goalless draw with the quartet of Tom Dele Bashiru, Maduka Okoye, Joseph Hungbo and Samuel Kalu all getting a run out. The latter trio were all introduced as second half substitutes.
Dele-Bashiru who was a part of the 2019 Nigeria U20 team made a positive impression on the coaches and was largely crowned man of the match by fans of the team, who streamed the game live.
He lasted the entire duration of the game and showed he is back to the form he had before suffering a cruciate ligament injury which kept him out for over a year. He spent last season on loan to Reading as part of plans to help him build his fitness and also rediscover his fitness.
A strong showing when the season gets underway will no doubt put him in the frame for a first time call up to the senior national team of Nigeria under new coach Jose Peseiro.
