Available for Fulham debut Iwobi (hamstring) has been training and will be in the squad for Saturday's match against Luton Town, according to manager Marco Silva.

Impact Iwobi is finally back since his injury a month ago with Everton and could be set to make his Fulham debut. It's unclear what kind of role he'll have with his new club, but as he showed at Everton, he can play pretty much any kind of role from defensive midfielder to winger. That said, he'll probably need a match or two to get his fitness completely back.

Participates in training Iwobi (hamstring) was pictured in training Tuesday ahead of Saturday's matchup with Luton Town.

Impact Iwobi joined Fulham after having picked up a hamstring injury in just his second match of the season for Everton. With the Toffees, Iwobi was filling a wide role but could be moved more centrally, especially if manager Marco Silva utilizes the 4-3-3 he did against Manchester City on Sept. 2. Regardless of where he fits into the squad, Iwobi should be in contention for regular appearances in the starting XI once fit enough to play.

Transfers to Fulham Iwobi has completed a transfer to Fulham from Everton and signed a five-year contract.

He started all 38 matches last season and figured to hold a similar role in the new season before injury. At Fulham, he figures to help as a winger as well as a defensive midfield role. Given the switch, it seems like a downgrade for him personally in terms of fantasy, as he'll be less of a playmaker at Fulham.

Impact As with any hamstring injury, Iwobi will miss at least two weeks with a full month seeming just as likely based off Dyche's comments. It's a tough injury for Everton, who are dealing with multiple absences just two matches into the season. Iwobi's injury could mean a spot in the starting XI for both Arnaut Danjuma and Neal Maupay, though Lewis Dobbin has also impressed the manager of late and could get a surprise call in upcoming matches.

Impact Iwobi was one of his side's top performers here, creating more chances than anyone on the pitch and also finishing a couple of plays himself, but that wasn't enough for Everton to score a much needed goal for their fight against relegation. With no goals and just one assist over his last 20 league starts, Iwobi will have to step up to increase his club's chance of keep playing Premier League football next season.
