Iwobi has been impressive for the Toffees this season and saw 67 minutes action on Saturday, November 28 in their 0-1 home loss to Leeds United in the Premier League.

However, he was instrumental to Everton's fifth win in the English top-flight as they narrowly defeated Fulham by 3-2 at Craven Cottage in their previous game.

Carlo Ancelotti's side dominated the first half but had to defend in most parts of the second period to secure the victory. Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored a goal right in the first minute before Bobby Reid equalized for the Cottagers.

Iwobi was involved in the build-up as Calvert-Lewin put the Toffees' back in front in the 29th-minute courtesy of an assist from Lucas Digne.

The Nigerian international won some balls and made a few interceptions especially when Fulham were in control of the game in the second half.

He has never been played as a right-back in his career but has played as an attacking midfielder or as a winger.

Their first meeting at the Samuel Ogbemudia ended 4-4 despite Gernot Rohr's taking a four-goal lead in the first 30 minutes of their fixture.

While their second leg in Freetown failed to produce a goal and this came after Nigeria lost 1-0 to Algeria and then another 1-1 draw vs Tunisia.
