Fulham FC manager, Marco Silva has revealed Alex Iwobi current state of health after his performance at the just concluded Africa Cup of Nations AFCON tournament.
Silva confirmed that Alex Iwobi is in good mental condition despite the criticism he received from some sections of the public.
The 27-year-old suffered a lot of online abuse from some Nigerian fans who were angry at the result, with the former Arsenal man reacting by deleting all his Instagram posts.
Silva while responding to questions by reporters on Friday’s pre-match press conference on the mental state of Alex Iwobi and if he’s had a chat with him in the lead-up to the Premier League meeting with Aston Villa, said:
“Mentally, he’s very good. Alex is a happy boy when he’s on the pitch doing what he loves, he’s always doing it with a smile on his face. I know part, I don’t know everything what people said about it.
“I don’t see reasons because if you lose a game you lose a game together, if you win a game you win together of course. They did brilliantly until the final.
“They lost the final and the people reacted they think that is the best. In my opinion it was completely unfair because of the way they criticized him on social media. It’s more strange when there is no reason to do it.
“Since he arrived here, of course I had a chat with him. He’s going to be involved in the game tomorrow, him and Calvin Bassey.”
