Ex-Arsenal ace Iwobi, 26, rolled his ankle following a challenge by Tyrell Malacia during the FA Cup third round game.
The Everton star was on the charge down the right hand side when tackled by Malacia, who got a foot on the ball.
He fell to the ground after appearing to get his foot caught in the turf.
Toffees skipper Seamus Coleman immediately called for doctors to tend to the midfielder.
After being treated to on the field, Iwobi was taken off by stretcher.
The injury comes as a huge blow to under-fire boss Frank Lampard.
Iwobi has started all 18 of Everton’s Premier League games this season.
The FA Cup clash was 1-1 when Iwobi went off midway through the second-half.
