Super Eagles and Fulham midfielder Alex Iwobi has shared an update on his situation as he continues to recover from a hamstring injury, Footynaija.com reports.
Iwobi has spent the last three weeks on the sidelines after suffering a hamstring injury during a Premier League game between the Cottagers and Brentford back in April.
Since then, the Nigeria international has missed three games including a 1-0 victory over Aston Villa, as well as back-to-back defeats at the hands of title chasers Arsenal and this season’s top flight big hitters Bournemouth respectively.

Speaking during a recent appearance on the Alexander Yaa Digg podcast, Iwobi opened up on his current fitness condition and provided insight into how he has been managing the injury setback.
“I’m just walking through my neighborhoods, going through the shops. Obviously, the reason why I’m doing this is to get some blood flow and oxygen into the legs, make sure my legs are not just indoors, and keep active,” he said.
“Right now, as it stands, I have got a hamstring injury, so I’m going to keep on the move and get my steps in. It’s unfortunate to get a hamstring injury. I appreciate the support and the love that everyone’s showing me, and everyone checking on me.
“As of now, I don’t know how bad it is. I’m able to walk, though I’ve got a limp, so that’s a positive. I’ve got a scan soon. So by the time this video is out, I would have had my results, so I’m praying for a speedy recovery.
“I’m just grateful that I don’t really get injured on a regular basis because it is mentally challenging. Even me, now that I’m injured, I’m just fuming. I can’t be active, I can’t move freely. But that’s life; it is part of the game.”
With only two games left to play this season, Fulham will be hoping Iwobi can make a quick recovery and return to help their push for a top half finish.
