Available for Fulham debut Iwobi (hamstring) has been training and will be in the squad for Saturday's match against Luton Town, according to manager Marco Silva.

Impact Iwobi is finally back since his injury a month ago with Everton and could be set to make his Fulham debut.

Participates in training Iwobi (hamstring) was pictured in training Tuesday ahead of Saturday's matchup with Luton Town.

Impact Iwobi joined Fulham after having picked up a hamstring injury in just his second match of the season for Everton. With the Toffees, Iwobi was filling a wide role but could be moved more centrally, especially if manager Marco Silva utilizes the 4-3-3 he did against Manchester City on Sept. 2. Regardless of where he fits into the squad, Iwobi should be in contention for regular appearances in the starting XI once fit enough to play.

Given the switch, it seems like a downgrade for him personally in terms of fantasy, as he'll be less of a playmaker at Fulham.
