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.

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 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.

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.
