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.

Impact Hwang scored his first goal of the season as he played the final 16 minutes of the game as a sub. This was the first shot he had taken this season in his 346 minutes. He was assisted by Matheus Cunha, who squared the ball across the face of the box.

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.

NOVEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

NOVEMBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

APRIL 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact Hwang is still weeks away from returning but he seems to be doing well and could return ahead of schedule. The attacker getting back on the pitch would be huge especially with Jean-Richner Bellegarde recovering slower than expected. Hwang will still be targeting a mid-April return.

Couple of weeks away from return Hwang (hamstring) is expected to miss a couple more weeks of action, as manager Gary O'Neil stated, "Channy is probably six to seven weeks in total from when he did it, so he's sti...

Impact Hwang has now missed the club's past two contests due to his hamstring issues, but he still appears to be a few weeks from a return based on the manager's quotes. However, this was to be expected, as he was not supposed to return until the middle of April initially. He will now hope for no setbacks in his training and to take the field to face Nottingham on April 13th, with the club looking for him to possibly make a return sooner than that, with a plethora of injuries stacking up in the attacking department.

MARCH 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Injury deemed serious Hwang (hamstring) is expected to miss the next six weeks of action, as manager Gary O'Neil stated when talking about the player's injury, "Approximately six weeks, which is obvious...

Impact Hwang's injury was initially thought of as a minor issue that would only keep him out for around a week, but after further testing, we have now learned he will not return until April due to his issues. This is a significant loss for the club, as he is one of their best players up top, having 13 goal contributions in 22 appearances. Plus, they are already without Matheus Cunha, who is the next-best player in the attacking third of the field. Hwang will now eye a return for around the second week in April, with Pedro Neto replacing him as striker while Jean-Ricner Bellegarde fills in Neto's spot in the midfield.

MARCH 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out Saturday Hwang (hamstring) is out for Saturday's clash with Newcastle, Wolves announced.

Impact Hwang won't be an option in a tough clash with Newcastle, likely opening a spot in the starting XI for Jean-Ricner Bellegarde. Hwang is expected to miss a week, or a little over a week, putting his return on a March 16 clash with Bournemouth, though it's possible he's held out until after the international break.

Impact It was first though that Hwang could have been an option for the weekend, however it looks like he will be out of action for at least a week after coming off the pitch injured Wednesday. This will cause minor changes to the starting XI, with Pedro Neto likely to move up to striker, with Pablo Sarabla and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde expected to line up in the attacking midfield against Newcastle.

Impact Hwang seemed to be in serious pain when he came off the pitch during Wednesday's win, but it appears the injury is nowhere near as serious as feared. The forward is expected to make a full recovery and get back on the pitch for Saturday's trip to Newcastle back in the Premier League.

Impact Hwang missed last time out due to some calf soreness, but evidently that was as minor of a problem as originally reported. The forward is available to start for Saturday's clash and should be an in immediate part of the first team once more. Hwang scored twice and assisted once in two games before departing to the Asian Cup.
