Iwobi, who played 76 minutes in last weekend's 1-0 victory over Leeds United, was a potential doubt for the upcoming match after picking up an injury.

With concerns about his injury, a decision is yet to be made on if he will feature this weekend, despite training with the team.

The Super Eagles star enjoyed his most productive season last year, contributing nine goals and six assists in 38 Premier League appearances.

As Fulham aim to build on their recent form after a slow start to the season, Silva will be keen to have the 29-year-old available for selection.
