Alex Iwobi, who plays for Fulham Football Club, is currently sidelined with a hamstring problem picked up during the club’s 0-0 draw against Brentford two weeks ago.

The midfielder has already missed Fulham’s narrow 1-0 victory over Aston Villa at Craven Cottage last weekend as he continues recovery.

Speaking at a pre-match press conference ahead of the London derby, Marco Silva confirmed that Alex Iwobi remains unavailable for selection alongside teammate Kevin.

Silva stated briefly that “Alex is out still,” ruling him out of the clash against his former club Arsenal.

The setback is a blow for Fulham, as Iwobi has been an important figure in the squad this season.

The 29-year-old has contributed four goals and three assists in 27 league appearances.

His absence will be felt as Fulham prepare for a challenging encounter at the Emirates Stadium, where squad depth will be tested.
