Makes starting XI
Iwobi (hamstring) is in the starting XI for Sunday's clash against Wolves.
Analysis: Iwobi ended his three-match absence after manager Marco Silva confirmed he had been working with the squad during the week and described his return as a big boost for the club. The attacker is a versatile presence who can operate in both the attacking and defensive portions of midfield, and his immediate return to the starting lineup comes as little surprise given his importance to Fulham's setup. He has contributed four goals and three assists across 27 Premier League appearances this season, all of which came as starts.
Option to face Wolves
Iwobi (hamstring) is an option for Sunday's match against Wolves, according to manager Marco Silva, per Jack Kelly of Fullhamish. "Alex is back in contention, he's been working with us this week. Big boost to have Alex back."
Analysis: Iwobi had to miss the last three matches but will end that absence, as the attacker is now set to make the team sheet Sunday. This will mean the return of a regular midfielder, giving them a versatile option who can play in the attacking or defending portion of the midfield. He is likely to return to a starting role immediately as they end the campaign, earning four goals and three assists in 27 appearances (27 starts).
