Fulham manager Marco Silva has opened up on the possibility of Super Eagles star playing against Liverpool at the weekend.
Liverpool are set to welcome the Cottages to Anfield on Saturday, with Fulham set to be without some key players.
Calvin Bassey, who has been instrumental in their defence line, will miss out on the clash after receiving his fifth yellow card of the season.
The Super Eagles defender was booked against Arsenal in Fulham’s 1-1 draw last weekend after fouling Kai Havertz.

Silva addresses missing players
Silva spoke to the media and gave a squad update ahead of the Premier League clash at Anfield against league leaders Liverpool.
Fulham's manager said in his press conference, "No fresh news, really, just Joachim and Harrison Reed, plus Reiss Nelson from the game we played against Brighton.
"They are going to be out for the game, and of course, the third game of Tom Cairney, plus the fifth yellow card from Calvin Bassey."
The Portuguese football tactician announced that Calvin Bassey will not play against the Reds because of his cumulative number of bookings.
Meanwhile, despite the absence of Bassey, Fulham will still have the in-form Alex Iwobi for the Liverpool clash.
The midfielder has scored five goals and provided three assists in his first 15 games of the season for Fulham.
