Impact Hwang is hoping to get fit for Sunday's trip to Manchester United, but is still struggling with a muscular issue. The forward would likely be a bench option even if deemed fit enough to play Sunday. The forward has made just a single start since the end of January.

Struggling for time Hwang has gone unused twice and has only played 16 minutes since returning from injury three games ago.

Impact Hwang has seen a massive drop in minutes this season after starting in 25 of his 29 appearances last season, with the forward only starting in five of his 18 appearances this season. This was majorly highlighted since his return from injury three games ago, only seeing a mere 16 minutes of play since then. He has only scored twice all season and has seen a drop in production, likely to remain in a rotational role moving forward.

Unused from bench Hwang (hamstring) went unused off the bench in Saturday's FA Cup clash with Bournemouth.

Impact Hwang returned to the squad for Saturday's FA Cup clash with Bournemouth making the bench but remaining an unused substitute. His availability is a positive sign suggesting he has fully recovered from his hamstring injury. That said, his return should not have much of an impact on the starting lineup since he had started only one of the last four games across all competitions before his absence.

MARCH 3 • ROTOWIRE

Ready to return Hwang (hamstring) is an option for Saturday's trip to Bournemouth, according to manager Vitor Pereira.

Impact Hwang last appeared in the FA Cup and is back for the next round, though he's unlikely to crack the starting XI. While he has a few starts this season, it doesn't seem like he'll be featured much the rest of the way with Jorgen Strand Larsen healthy again and Marshall Munetsi playing in more of an attacking role.

Impact Hwang will be out for Saturday's trip to Bournemouth as he struggles with a hamstring injury. The forward picked the injury up during an FA Cup clash and has now missed a pair of matches. Hwang's next chance to return will be a Tuesday clash with Fulham, though this sort of injury will likely end up being a multi-week concern.

Impact Hwang earned the start Sunday and did well with his time, earning an assist before leaving the field. However, he was later forced off, leaving at halftime due to an apparent hamstring injury. He will still need further testing although initial reports seem to rule out anything serious, leaving him questionable and hopeful to be fit for Sunday's match against Liverpool.

Scores opener Sunday Hwang scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Hwang made his first start since Aug. 25 Sunday and marked the occasion by opening up the scoring with an outside-the-box strike in the 7th minute assisted by Rayan Ait-Nouri. It marked his second goal of the season, both of which have come in the last two matches. It was the only shot he took in the match and he also recorded one inaccurate cross and made one clearance before he was subbed off in the 78th minute Carlos Forbs.

Scores final goal as a sub Hwang Hee-Chan scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Thursday's 2-0 win over Manchester United.

Returns to bench Hwang (ankle) is on the bench for Saturday's clash with Fulham.

Impact Hwang returns to the bench for Saturday's match after overcoming his ankle injury. The forward has been slowly increasing his workload in training and now appears fit and ready for a full return.

Back in training Hwang (ankle) returned to training ahead of Saturday's clash with Southampton, Wolves announced.

Impact Hwang is uncertain against Southampton, but he is back in training, a good sign. The forward is a key part of the attack and this is a must-win match, but it's unclear if he will be rushed back before the international break.

Out two-to-three weeks Hwang (ankle) will miss two-to-three weeks, Wolves announced.

Impact Hwang is going to miss multiple weeks with the ankle injury he suffered on international duty. It was always expected that he'd miss time after the ugly injury, but it appears he avoided any major damage. He's only made one Premier League start, so his absence shouldn't change much in the starting XI, though it could offer Carlos Forbs more minutes off the bench.

Forced off injured Hwang was forced off with an apparent injury during the first half of Thursday's 2-0 win over Jordan.

Impact Hwang made it just 23 minutes into the clash before being forced off. It's not clear how serious the injury is, but the forward had to be helped off the pitch. It's possible he returns to England to have the injury assessed with his club.

OCTOBER 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Role diminished Hee-Chan has only started in two of his seven appearances on the team sheet this campaign.

Impact Hee-Chan has seen his role diminish heavily after breaking out with Wolves last season, as he did start in 25 of his 29 appearances while notching 15 goal contributions in the previous campaign. There has been no explanation for his drop in the depth chart, with the most likely reason being due to more focus on control in the midfield for the club instead of the counterattacking they died by last season, as he did start in the first two matches of the season before being dropped. That said, he will hope to find a way back into the starting XI, although he looks more likely to continue to see time off the bench.

OCTOBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Breakout season with Wolves Hee-Chan scored 12 goals and provided three assists in 29 appearances (25 starts) this past season.

Impact Hee-Chan had by far the best season of his career as he provided 15 goal contributions, more than his previous two seasons combined. It would have been more but he missed four games due to the Asia Cup, and then another five due to a hamstring injury. Despite missing that time, he still tied with Matheus Cunha for the team lead with 12 goals. The 28-year-old is under contract long term so will likely be a focal point of Wolves' attack again next season.

Scores in loss Hee-Chan scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 5-1 defeat against Manchester City.

Impact Hee-Chan provided the one bright spot Wolves were given Saturday, scoring in the 53rd minute to ease the pain somewhat in the brutal 5-1 loss. This was his second consecutive game with a goal, now having 12 on the season to give him 15 goal contributions. He has started in four straight games since recovering from his hamstring issues.

Goal disallowed in loss to Cherries Hwang Hee-Chan had two shots (one on goal) in Wednesday's 1-0 defeat by AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Hee-chan was quiet in the first half Wednesday but became Wolves most threatening players in the second half. He had the ball in the back of the net through an outstanding header but it was revoked after VAR review due to a foul in the goal build up. He was also a dangerous playmaker, forming opportunities that his teammates would not capitalize upon. The Korean international has not been in his best form recently, it has been seven matches since his last assist and eight since he last recorded a goal.

Limited to 45 minutes Hwang (hamstring) is only available for 45 minutes during Saturday's clash with Arsenal, according to manager Gary O'Neil.

Impact Hwang will only be an option for 45 minutes during Saturday's match. The forward returned off the bench during a two-all draw against Nottingham Forest and played 31 minutes. As expected it appears his minutes will slowly ramp up week-to-week. Hwang has missed nine of the last 12 matches through injury, so keeping him healthy is a top priority.

Impact Hwang will be back in the squad for the first time after missing five matches in a row with the hamstring issue. Getting the forward back is a major turn for the side as he is one of the more prolific pieces of the first team. Hwang should be competing for starting minutes straight away now that he is fit once more.

Not ready to return Hwang (hamstring) is not in the Wolverhampton squad to face West Ham on Saturday.

Impact Hwang trained on Friday, but has been ruled out of Saturday's squad after failing to make the bench. The attacker seems close to a return to action and will likely play some role next week against Nottingham Forest.

APRIL 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Training Friday Hwang (hamstring) took part in training Friday, according to manager Gary O'Neil.

Impact Hwang was active in training Friday and has a chance to get back in the matchday squad Saturday. The forward has only completed one team training session, so even if he's included in the squad it seems more likely than not he won't be an option in the starting XI.

APRIL 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Might get a chance Saturday Hwang (hamstring) could get back on the field for Saturday's match against West Ham, according to Liam Keen of the Express and Star.

Impact Hwang was not expected to be an option until next week's match against Nottingham Forest, although there is now some optimism the forward could get back on the team sheet to face West Ham on Saturday. However, it appears that he is still more likely to be held out until the Nottingham Forest match, as he is just starting to train, with his current status still to be evaluated in a game situation. The club will now most likely decide on his availability after a fitness test Saturday, with a spot on the bench being the most probable outcome if selected, while his total absence from the team sheet would not come as a surprise.
