Impact 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.
