Alex Iwobi - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Scores penalty, ready for season Iwobi scored a penalty in Fulham's 2-1 comeback win over Farense to close out the club's preseason camp in Portugal, the club announced.

Impact Iwobi carved open the defense with an incisive pass to Ryan Sessegnon and later equalized from the penalty spot after Emile Smith Rowe won a spot kick. He was arguably Fulham's most reliable performer last season, starting all 29 of his 29 Premier League appearances and racking up 2,434 minutes with four goals, three assists and 44 key passes, adding 41 corners, 27 tackles and 14 interceptions to underline his influence at both ends of the pitch. That well-rounded output has cemented him as one of the more dependable pieces of Fulham's setup, and he now looks fully primed heading into the new campaign. Iwobi is expected to carry that consistency into the season opener and beyond.

Makes starting XI Iwobi (hamstring) is in the starting XI for Sunday's clash against Wolves.

Impact 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.

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.
