Fulham coach confirms Alex Iwobi fit for Wolves clash after hamstring layoff

Fulham head coach Marco Silva said Alex Iwobi is back in contention to face Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux on Sunday. Iwobi suffered a hamstring injury in Fulham’s 0-0 draw with Brentford last month and has missed the Whites’ last three league games. During his absence, Fulham recorded one win and two defeats. Silva confirmed Iwobi has been training fully with the squad this week and participated in sessions last week, stating, “Alex (Iwobi) is back in contention for the game. Last week, he did some training sessions with us. And this week, throughout, he’s been working with us. It’s been a good week for him.”

This update matters to Nigerian fans because Iwobi is a regular Super Eagles midfielder. His availability strengthens Fulham’s midfield options and could influence his national team selection for upcoming fixtures. For fantasy league managers, his return presents a potential differential pick, especially given Fulham’s recent mixed results without him.

Will you start Iwobi in your fantasy lineup this weekend, or do you think he needs more match fitness to impact the game against Wolves?
