Super Eagles midfielder Alex Iwobi made his return from a hamstring injury as Fulham were held to a 1-1 draw against Wolves in a Premier League clash at Molineux on Sunday, providing a timely boost for Nigeria ahead of the upcoming international friendlies against Portugal and Poland.
Iwobi, back in the Fulham lineup after several weeks out, added creativity and control to Marco Silva’s midfield, helping the visitors grow into the game after a slow start.
The match quietly carried a landmark moment for Calvin Bassey, who reached 100 appearances for Fulham after arriving from Ajax in July 2023.
Since that move, Bassey has grown into a trusted figure in Marco Silva’s defensive setup, offering strength, recovery pace, and versatility across the back line.
