Joining Wolves permanently Hwang will sign a permanent deal with Wolves until 2026 after the completion of his loan from RB Leipzig this summer.

Impact Hwang almost immediately found a job with Wolves after coming over from Leipzig at the beginning of the sesaon. At one point, he started 10-straight matches before injury. He's on four goals this season, which is better than anything he did at Leipzig the prior campaign.

Stepping up recovery Hwang (hamstring) has begun jogging and is slowly working his way up to training.

Impact If Hwang has only begun jogging now, he probably won't be ready immediately after the international break. He's been out about a month with the hamstring injury and will need to be training in full before he's ready to compete for minutes again, something that will take another couple weeks.

Out until February Hwang (hamstring) is expected to be able to rejoin Wolves in February, the club announced Monday.

Impact Hwang suffered a hamstring injury in the win against Brighton on Dec. 15, and he is expected to miss at least another month while he recovers. Francisco Trincao will likely see the greatest uptick in playing time while Hwang is sidelined, but Daniel Podence and Adama Traore will also have more important roles along the forward line as well.

Expected out extended period Hwang (hamstring) is expected to miss the upcoming holiday fixtures after he posted on Instagram that he'll "be back stronger."

Impact Wolves have yet to release any information on the injury, but it looks like a typical hamstring injury for Hwang, which would keep him out two or four weeks, at a minimum. Daniel Podence, Francisco Trincao and Adama Traore are all expected to benefit in his absence.

Likely out against Chelsea Hwang is still being assessed for an injury suffered midweek and he's unlikely to be available Sunday against Chelsea, confirmed manager Bruno Lage.

Impact There's a chance this is a muscle injury for Hwang, but the lack of news from Wolves makes it hard to project. If it's indeed a hamstring injury, he may not return before the year is over, likely leading to more time for Daniel Podence and Adama Traore in the attack.

Forced off early Wednesday Hwang was forced off in the 16th minute of Wednesday's match against Brighton with a possible muscle injury.

Impact Hwang tried to continue Wednesday, but he couldn't fight off his issue and was replaced by Adama Traore. It only added to Wolverhampton's problems, as Raul Jimenez is suspended. If it's a muscle injury, Hwang could end up missing multiple weeks, likely leading to more time for Daniel Podence and Traore.

Scores early in draw Hwang scored once on one shot during Saturday's one-all draw with Leeds.

Impact Hwang scored on the first shot of the match, and his only shot, during Saturday's draw. The forward was held relatively quiet after that, but the goal was enough for a strong fantasy day. He has been a boom-or-bust option recently, but when he scores he can put up huge points.

Nets brace Hwang scored once on two shots during Saturday's 2-1 win over Newcastle.

Impact Hwang scored his second and third goal of the season, matching his season-best in a top league. The forward isn't likely to get consistent time in the starting XI, but he certainly has boom potential for fantasy purposes. With a near-zero floor he's a risky play in any format.

Scores as substitute Hwang scored one goal from his only shot, made three tackles (all won) and one clearance in Saturday's 2-0 win at Watford.

Impact Hwang subbed on in the second half and scored their second goal in the 83rd minute to seal the deal. That was his first goal in the season, as the forward has yet to start (three appearances). He will now look to get the nod against Brentford on Saturday.

Loaned to Wolves Hwang has joined Wolverhampton on a season-long loan from Leipzig, the club announced Sunday.

Impact Hwang starred at RB Salzburg, posting 16 goals and 22 assists in 40 games in all competitions two seasons ago, but he only managed three starts for Leipzig last year. He now moves to the Premier League for this season, where he will still find tough competition in the forward positions, though Pedro Neto is out with a long term injury and Adama Traore could still leave the club before the end of the transfer window.

Picks up knock in friendly Hee-Chan picked up an undisclosed knock in a preseason friendly, according to head coach Jesse Marsch.

Impact Hee-Chan has just over two weeks to recover his fitness before the league season begins, so he'll hope that whatever he's dealing with won't impact his status. With just one goal in 18 appearances last season, Hee-Chan needs to do more once he's fit.
