Alex Iwobi has revealed he suffered a hand injury during Fulham’s defeat to Manchester United, joking that Kobbie Mainoo was to blame for the damage.
Fulham were beaten by United at Old Trafford, with Mainoo involved in an incident that left Iwobi in pain. The Nigeria international later shared that his hand had been hurt in the clash, making it clear it happened during contact with the young midfielder.
Iwobi explained the issue in a light-hearted exchange, telling Mainoo: “You finished my hand!” as he showed the injury. Mainoo responded in kind as the pair spoke after the game, with Iwobi making it clear the problem was the result of that moment in the match.
The revelation adds a personal post-match note to a testing afternoon for Fulham, who left Old Trafford empty-handed after the loss. Iwobi’s comments did not suggest anything beyond the knock itself, but he confirmed his hand was left worse for wear following the collision with Mainoo.
