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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Impact Hwang will be back in the squad for the first time after missing five matches in a row with the hamstring issue.

Hwang should be competing for starting minutes straight away now that he is fit once more.
