However, Silva has downplayed the severity of the injury, offering a more positive outlook.
“From Alex’s initial reaction, it doesn’t seem too serious. We’ll have a clearer picture in the next 24 to 48 hours. It was a big blow losing him,” Silva said after the match.
Iwobi has scored four goals, and registered three assists in 27 league appearances for Fulham this season.
Fulham remain in 12th position with 45 points following the stalemate with Brentford.
