Retains starting spot after injury Hwang (undisclosed) is in the starting lineup to face Everton on Wednesday.

Trains, option Wednesday Hwang (undisclosed) has trained and is an option for Wednesday's match against Everton, according to his club.

Impact Hwang was off the field early in the club's last match but after further testing, it was revealed he was only suffering from a knock and allowing him to train. This gives the forward a chance of featuring Wednesday, not wanting to give up his starting spot after a goal and assist last time out. That said, he should return to that role if fully fit, starting in their past five outings.

Option off bench Hwang (calf) is on the bench for Sunday's clash with Burnley.

Impact Hwang returned to team training earlier in the week and has been ramping up his recovery from this calf issue. He evidently did well as he progressed through training, as he's now back on the bench. Prior to his injury, Hwang had started two straight matches, but he wasn't deemed fit enough for a return to the starting XI on Sunday.

Back with team Hwang (calf) is back in training with the team but his availability for Sunday's game against Burnley is uncertain, manager Vitor Pereira told media during Friday's pre-match press...

Impact The South Korean striker suffered the injury while on international duty. While his return to training is positive, it remains to be seen whether he'll be fit enough to suit up and be an option for Pereira. Given that Jorgen Strand Larsen is playing through pain due to an Achilles injury, having Hwang back in the mix would be crucial for a Wolves team that has struggled on offense all season long. Hwang has one goal on six appearances (four starts) in 2025-26.

Ruled out against Sunderland Hwang (undisclosed) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Sunderland.

Impact Hwang has been ruled out of Saturday's clash with Sunderland as he continues to recover from a minor injury sustained over the international break. The forward had been a late call after starting four of the club's last five matches. His absence could lead to a reshuffle in attack, with Fer Lopez and Rodrigo Gomes likely seeing increased playing time.

Impact Hwang is going to be a late call and needs some testing heading into Saturday, with the forward suffering from a small injury following the international break. This is a rough development for the club, as he has started in four of their past five games, possibly losing a recent starter. That said, this could force a change for the club, with Fer Lopez and Rodrigo Gomes as possible replacements.

Earns starting role Hwang has started in four of the club's past five games but has only registered one goal on five shots during that span.

Impact Hwang was a bench option through the first two games this season, but has now worked into a starting role, starting in four of the club's seven games this season. However, he has struggled to find much movement forward despite having a goal this season, averaging less than a shot per game. He only scored two goals in 21 appearances (five starts) last season, possibly heading for a similar fate this campaign.

OCTOBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in first start of the season Hwang Hee-Chan scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 3-2 defeat against Everton.

Impact Hwang started his first game of the season, having only played 650 minutes in the entirety of last season. He scored with his only shot of the season so far. With the exit of Matheus Cunha for Manchester United this year, Hwang could have an increased impact for Wolves this year.

Misses PK in Cup Hwang missed a penalty during the first half of Tuesday's Carabao Cup clash with West Ham.

Impact Hwang got his first start of the season in the Carabao Cup and missed a penalty. It was a poor showing all-around from the forward, who has seemingly lost his role in the Wolves starting XI. Hwang was brought off after 80 minutes during Tuesday's Cup clash, but has played just 22 minutes in the first two Premier League matches.

AUGUST 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Role takes major hit Hwang started in five of his 21 appearances while notching two goals on five shots in the Premier League.

Impact Hwang would see a major reduction in minutes during the 2024/25 campaign, falling to more of a rotational role with his 650 minutes compared to the 2,100 minutes from the previous campaign. He would see one stint of starts before ultimately seeing very little time to end the season, only earning six appearances after the start of February. However, injuries did see him sidelined multiple times, possibly the reason for his minimal use. He still has a few years left on his contract, so the 29-year-old will hope to see an improvement in minutes, or he could be facing a possible move out with his role dwindling.

Impact Hwang missed the club's last match but is returning after the short absence, with the forward finding a bench spot.

Impact Hwang looks to be seeing some progress in his return from an injury, as the forward was back in training over the weekend. This is good news, as it puts him in a spot to return Saturday.

Impact Hwang was absent from the team sheet Saturday after some reports of an injury, with the attacker dealing with what has been claimed as a "small problem."

Could return Saturday Hwang (strain) could return for Saturday's clash with Leicester, per manager Vitor Pereira.

Impact Hwang has been struggling with a muscular issue and was left out against Manchester United. The forward trained ahead of Saturday's clash, but might not be risked, as even when fit recently he's been a frequently unused option on the bench.

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.

APRIL 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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, 2025 • 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.

Remains out Hwang (hamstring) is out for Saturday's trip to Bournemouth, Wolves announced.

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.
