Won't face Aston Villa
Iwobi (hamstring) is out for Saturday's match against Aston Villa but is expected to return this season, according to manager Marco Silva, per Jack Kelly of Fullhamish. "Really bad news to lose a player like [Alex]. Difficult to say a time-scale on Alex, but back before the end of the season."
Analysis: Iwobi would leave the field injured in the club's last outing, and a clearer picture is now available, as he will miss some time but is still likely to be an option to end the season. However, with a hamstring injury, he is likely still looking at around two to three weeks out, leaving a return with only two or three games left. This will depend on his recovery and the severity, but they will be happy to be getting back a regular starter to end the season, with Samuel Chukwueze likely to take some of Iwobi's time while out.
Suffers hamstring injury
Iwobi suffered an apparent hamstring injury and was forced off before halftime during Saturday's clash against Brentford, leaving his availability for upcoming fixtures uncertain, according to Jack Kelly of Fulhamish.
Analysis: Iwobi pulled up his hamstring and was forced off in the 41st minute of Saturday's clash against the Bees. The club will assess him over the coming days before setting any kind of return timeline. Iwobi has been an important piece of Fulham's attacking setup this season, and his potential absence would force a reshuffle in the front line, with Samuel Chukwueze expected to step into a larger role if he needs time on the sidelines.
