Everton midfielder Alex Iwobi is expected to return to action against Arsenal February 3 after being ruled out for three weeks after damaging his ankle ligaments during Friday’s 3-1 defeat to Manchester United in their FA Cup third round clash.
The 26-year-old former Arsenal player damaged his ankle ligaments following a nasty challenge by Tyrell Malacia in the 47th minute.
After undergoing a scan on Sunday, it was revealed that the Nigerian would not spend a prolonged period on the sidelines receiving treatment.
The injury is a further blow to Everton, who dropped into the Premier League relegation zone after a heavy home defeat by Brighton last week.
