Impact Iwobi started in the prior league contest, but it looks like this issue could keep him out of the XI Saturday against Brighton. It's still early in the evaluation, but after starting twice already this week, that makes the most sense. His possible absence likely means a return to the XI for Andros Townsend.

Provides assist off bench in win Iwobi provided an assist and had two shots (one on target) after coming off the bench during Saturday's 3-1 win over Southampton.

Impact Iwobi was brought in the 70th minute, replacing Andros Townsend, and made an immediate impact, assisting Abdoulaye Doucoure's go-ahead goal six minutes later and being involved in the play that lead to his side's third goal. With Townsend also providing an assist and James Rodriguez back to the fold soon, there will be a lot of competition for a spot in the starting XI, but Iwobi will probably be an option off the bench once again during next Saturday's visit to Leeds.

Loses role in final month Iwobi played 48 minutes over the final five matches of the season, making two appearances.

Impact Iwobi was healthy, but he couldn't find a role in the squad late in the season. It's somewhat surprising, as he started seven-straight times at one point in December, but those numbers quickly disappeared. Overall, he lacked upside, totaling one goal, two assists, 15 shots and 16 chances created in 30 appearances (17 starts).
