Iwobi starts for Everton against West Ham United after injury setback

Alex Iwobi has shrugged off his injury to make Everton’s starting XI for Sunday’s Premier League showdown against West Ham United.

The African star suffered a knock that kept him out of the club’s 1-1 draw against Manchester United as well as Nigeria’s 2022 Fifa World Cup double-header against the Central African Republic.

His last outing saw him feature in the Goodison Park giants’ 2-0 triumph over Norwich City on September 25 – where he played for 89 minutes.

Prior to this encounter, manager Rafael Benitez disclosed that the former Arsenal player alongside Lucas Digne and Seamus Coleman are back to full fitness.
