And, Hornets boss Ray Lewington has admitted anyone not in his first team squad will be deemed surplus to requirements and could follow Baardsen.

However, he insists transfer-listed players like Allan Nielsen and Marcus Gayle are going nowhere while they are in the first team.

"Anyone outside my first team squad is deemed surplus to requirements. The exception now is if they are playing they come out of the equation."
