Nigeria, Jan. 9 -- Everton has announced that Alex Iwobi, a Super Eagles player, has avoided further damage from the ankle injury he suffered against Manchester United last week.

According to the information, Iwobi will be out for three weeks, as announced on the club's website.

This means that Iwobi might be in action against Arsenal by February, tentatively.

"Alex Iwobi is expected to be out for around three weeks with the ankle ligament injury sustained against Manchester United on Friday."

"Scan results on Saturday confirmed a lateral ligament injury that will be managed conservatively by the Club's medical team at Finch Farm," the Everton statement revealed.

On Twitter, Iwobi wrote, "Appreciate The Love, Back Soon."
