West Ham United manager David Moyes spoke ahead their next Premier League match against Watford at London Stadium on Saturday and confirmed new signing Patrice Evra could make his debut.
The 36-year-old French left-back has been without a team since last November when he was suspended after kicking a fan in a Europa League match while playing for Marseille.
Moyes and Evra worked together at Manchester United before the former France international moved to Juventus in 2014.
West Ham have not lost in their last three Premier League home matches - Watford are looking to win back-to-back matches for the first time since November.
But Gracia's first match in charge could not have gone better - with his new side registering a 4-1 win over reigning champions Chelsea on Monday.

Basquiat in Abu Dhabi
One of Basquiat’s paintings, the vibrant Cabra (1981–82), now hangs in Louvre Abu Dhabi temporarily, on loan from the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi.
The latter museum is not open physically, but has assembled a collection and puts together a series of events called Talking Art, such as this discussion, moderated by writer Chaedria LaBouvier.
It's something of a Basquiat season in Abu Dhabi at the moment. Last week, The Radiant Child, a documentary on Basquiat was shown at Manarat Al Saadiyat, and tonight (April 18) the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi is throwing the re-creation of a party tonight, of the legendary Canal Zone party thrown in 1979, which epitomised the collaborative scene of the time. It was at Canal Zone that Basquiat met prominent members of the art world and moved from unknown graffiti artist into someone in the spotlight.
“We’ve invited local resident arists, we’ll have spray cans at the ready,” says curator Maisa Al Qassemi of the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi.
Guggenheim Abu Dhabi's Canal Zone Remix is at Manarat Al Saadiyat, Thursday April 18, from 8pm. Free entry to all. Basquiat's Cabra is on view at Louvre Abu Dhabi until October
