Fulham midfielder, Alex Iwobi is set to make this debut this weekend against Luton Town.
This was confirmed by manager Marco Silva during his press conference.
The Super Eagles star signed for the Cottagers on transfer deadline day from Everton.
Iwobi was unavailable when his new side got battered 5-1 by defending champions Manchester City just before the international break.
He picked up a hamstring injury when his former club Everton lost 4-0 to Aston Villa on match day two of the Premier League and that made him miss the AFCON qualifier against São Tomé and Príncipe.
As earlier reported, the 27-year-old trained fully with his Fulham teammates on Thursday and his return to fitness has now been confirmed by his new manager.
Silva in his pre-match conference ahead of his side’s encounter with Luton Town gave an update on the state of the Hale End product and other members of the squad.
In quotes relayed by Fulham’s official website, Silva said: Alex Iwobi is going to be involved in the squad list. He came injured when he signed with us, but since the start of this week he’s been involved in the squad list.”
