He added: "Almunia is better but, as I say, we want to wait to give him more treatment and rest.But Watford can still go up through the play-offs and Zola has said his men have recovered from their final-day disappointment.Bond, 19, was taken to hospital following a collision in Saturday's 2-1 defeat by Leeds but suffered only a broken nose.It took us 24 hours. Of course we were a little bit down. But we went to the end of season dinner and afterwards everyone felt much better," said the former Chelsea striker.He travelled to Italy to have the mask made and could feature against the Foxes.It hit me hard. But I've been hit hard many times in my life and I always pick myself up.Watford lost former Arsenal keeper Almunia in the warm-up before the Leeds game, a result which cost the Hornets automatic promotion.Jonathan looks nice with a mask," Hornets boss Gianfranco Zola told BBC Three Counties Radio.Bond was drafted into the starting line-up, but after he was carried off on a stretcher academy product Jack Bonham, who was not expecting to even be in the squad, was forced to make his senior debut.We've decided to give the goalkeepers another 24 hours and after that we will decide who will play.The 19-year-old was at fault for both of Leeds' goals and Zola's side, who also saw striker Troy Deeney shown a red card, were unable to record the victory that would have seen them pip Hull to second place.
