Alex Iwobi will not feature in Fulham’s upcoming English Premier League fixture against Arsenal F.C. due to injury concerns.
Fulham manager Marco Silva confirmed that the Nigerian international is still sidelined with a hamstring problem, ruling him out of the highly anticipated London derby.
Iwobi picked up the injury during Fulham’s goalless draw against Brentford F.C. two weeks ago. He was also absent when the Whites secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Aston Villa F.C. at Craven Cottage last weekend.

Speaking ahead of the clash with his former club, Silva disclosed that Iwobi has not yet recovered and will not be available for selection.
The manager also hinted at other injury concerns within the squad.
Despite his absence, Iwobi has been an important player for Fulham this season, contributing four goals and three assists in 27 league appearances.
His unavailability will be a setback for the team as they prepare to face one of the league’s top sides.
