Iwobi ruled out of Arsenal clash

Nigeria forward Alex Iwobi has been ruled out of Fulham’s Premier League fixture against Arsenal at the Emirates on Saturday.

The Super Eagle will not be able to face his former club, after suffering a hamstring injury in the Cottagers’ 0-0 draw with Brentford two weeks ago.

Fulham manager Marco Silva confirmed that Iwobi will miss the team’s Premier League clash against Arsenal.

Iwobi still out

“Alex [Iwobi] is out still, plus Kevin. Kenny [Tete], we will have to see how he reacts from the last two sessions. He can probably be involved in the game,” Silva told the club’s official website.

“We have some doubts on some players, but we will assess them tomorrow to see how they react from things that happened in the week.”

Iwobi began career at Arsenal

Iwobi began his career at Arsenal, with whom he won the FA Cup in 2017 and finished as runner-up for the EFL Cup in 2018 and UEFA Europa League in 2019.

In 2019, Iwobi transferred to Everton, and in 2023 he joined Fulham. Iwobi represented England up to U-18 level.

He made his senior international debut for Nigeria in October 2015, and was part of their squads at the FIFA World Cup in 2018 and the Africa Cup of Nations in 2019 (finishing third), 2021, 2023 (being runner-up) and 2025 (finishing third).
