Fulham manager Marco Silva announced during a Friday press conference that Alex Iwobi is set to make his return to the squad ahead of Sunday’s match against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux. The Nigerian midfielder has been sidelined since suffering a hamstring injury in the goalless draw with Brentford last month.
Iwobi’s absence has been felt by the Cottagers, who managed only one victory and suffered two defeats in the three Premier League games he missed. Silva expressed optimism about Iwobi’s recovery, stating that the player has resumed full training and has been participating in team sessions throughout the week. ‘Alex is back in contention for the game. Last week, he did some training sessions with us. And this week, he’s been working with us. It’s been a good week for him,’ the Fulham boss explained.
The return of the 28-year-old provides a significant boost for Fulham as they prepare to face Wolves. Iwobi’s creativity and energy in midfield will be crucial for the team’s attacking play. The match is scheduled for Sunday, and Silva will have a full week of training to integrate Iwobi back into the starting eleven or use him as an impact substitute.
