FootballIwobi was not available for training before the international break due to a hamstring injury he suffered during his time with Everton this season.
The injury ruled the former Arsenal player out of Nigeria's final 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Sao Tome and Principe in Uyo.
The former Everton man was not necessarily missed as the Super Eagles thrashed the Falcons and the True Parrots 6-0, with goals from Victor Osimhen, Taiwo Awoniyi, Ademola Lookman, and Samuel Chukwueze.
With the international break being over, Fulham are back in training for the Premier League fixture against newly promoted side Luton Town.
Iwobi and Bassey could be on the pitch at the same time for the Cottagers against a team that has lost all their games this season in the English top flight.
