Sam Sodje's loan spell at Watford has been cut short and the defender has returned to Madejski Stadium.

Sam suffered a recurrence of a knee injury during the Hornets' trip to Sheffield United on Saturday, and now faces a spell on the sidelines.

The former Brentford man joined the Hornets late last week and played the full 90 minutes in their 2-1 loss at Bramall Lane.

He spent the majority of last season on loan at Charlton, and has not played for the Royals' first team since our Carling Cup win at Swansea in August 2007, although he was on the bench twice this season.
