Manager of Fulham FC, Marco Silva, has expressed concern over the injury sustained by Nigeria’s Super Eagles midfielder Alex Iwobi during Saturday’s Premier League clash against Brentford FC, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Iwobi was forced off during the encounter, dealing a blow to Fulham as the team continues its campaign. 

Speaking after the match, Silva admitted the extent of the injury is still uncertain but remains hopeful it is not serious.

“Let’s hope it’s not serious. We have to assess in the next few days and then we can take some conclusions. It’s a big miss for us because he is so crucial. It’s a chance for the others to play,” Silva said.

The Portuguese tactician added that initial feedback from the player was somewhat encouraging, though further medical evaluation will provide clarity.

“First reaction I got from Alex is that it’s not so bad, but in the next 24–48 hours, we will be more clear about it. It was a big impact when we lost him,” he added.

Iwobi has been a key figure for Fulham this season, and his potential absence could pose a significant challenge for the team in the coming fixtures.
