Graham had just recovered from a back injury

Watford top scorer Danny Graham has been given the all-clear for Saturday's trip to Burnley.

Graham, 25, hobbled off with an ankle injury in the 78th minute of Tuesday's 3-2 defeat by Crystal Palace, after finding the net in the first half.

But Hornets boss Malky Mackay confirmed the knock was not a serious one, and the striker has been in full training.

"He's been checked over by the medical team and is fine to train as usual," Mackay told the club website.

Graham, whose strike at Sellhurst Park was his ninth of the season in all competitions, had played his first full 90 minutes in three games against Nottingham Forest at the weekend after struggling with a back problem.
