Option to face Wolves

Iwobi (hamstring) is an option for Sunday's match against Wolves, according to manager Marco Silva, per Jack Kelly of Fullhamish. "Alex is back in contention, he's been working with us this week. Big boost to have Alex back."

Analysis: Iwobi had to miss the last three matches but will end that absence, as the attacker is now set to make the team sheet Sunday. This will mean the return of a regular midfielder, giving them a versatile option who can play in the attacking or defending portion of the midfield. He is likely to return to a starting role immediately as they end the campaign, earning four goals and three assists in 27 appearances (27 starts).

Won't face Aston Villa

Iwobi (hamstring) is out for Saturday's match against Aston Villa but is expected to return this season, according to manager Marco Silva, per Jack Kelly of Fullhamish. "Really bad news to lose a player like [Alex]. Difficult to say a time-scale on Alex, but back before the end of the season."

Analysis: Iwobi would leave the field injured in the club's last outing, and a clearer picture is now available, as he will miss some time but is still likely to be an option to end the season. However, with a hamstring injury, he is likely still looking at around two to three weeks out, leaving a return with only two or three games left. This will depend on his recovery and the severity, but they will be happy to be getting back a regular starter to end the season, with Samuel Chukwueze likely to take some of Iwobi's time while out.
