Impact Iwobi scored the game-winning goal late in the first half with a shot from the edge of the box, but Konstantinos Tzolakis had responsibility as well since he could've done more to stop that attempt.

Impressive creativity without returns Iwobi created three chances, delivered five crosses (two accurate), and took two corners in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Ipswich Town.

The underlying numbers have been encouraging in that spell with four shots and 10 chances created, helped by his share of set piece duties alongside Oscar Bobb. He has also registered at least one tackle in every start so far, and if the creative output continues, the end product could follow.

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.

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.
