Fulham head coach, Marco Silva is hopeful Alex Iwobi will feature for the club before the end of the season.
Iwobi sustained a hamstring injury in the Cottagers 0-0 draw at Brentford last weekend.
The versatile midfielder was replaced by his international teammate Samuel Chukwueze towards the end of the first half.
There were fears the 29-year-old would miss the remainder of the season as a result of the injury.
Silva, who expressed disappointment with the player’s injury, is, however, expecting him to make an appearance for the Whites before the season runs out.
“Really bad news to lose a player like Alex Iwobi. It’s difficult to say a timescale, but back before the end of the season,” Silva told a press conference on Friday.
Fulham will welcome Aston Villa to the Craven Cottage on Saturday.
