On bench Saturday Hoever (knee) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Leeds United.

Impact Hoever is back in the matchday squad for Saturday's game, taking a spot on the bench after recovering from a recent knee issue. He had missed Wolves' last two matches but wasn't mentioned in the pre-match press conference, indicating a return to fitness. He'll provide depth at right wing-back if needed later in the game.

Expected to be available Hoever (knee) is expected to be available for Saturday's game against Leeds United.

Impact Hoever has missed the Wolves' last two games due to a knee issue, but it seems he's ready to return to action after he wasn't mentioned in the presser Friday. If that's the case, he'll compete for a role as the right wing-back with Jackson Tchatchoua.

Ruled out Saturday Hoever (knee) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Newcastle.

Impact Hoever has been ruled out for Saturday's clash with Newcastle as he continues to recover from the knee issue that sidelined him against Everton before the break. This marks his second straight absence since picking up the setback. Jackson Tchatchoua is expected to continue at right wing-back in his place.

SEPTEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Back in training Hoever (knee) returned to training last week and could be an option to face Newcastle United on Saturday.

Impact Hoever missed the loss to Everton, but his return to training suggests the right wing-back could make his return to the side after missing just one game. Jackson Tchatchoua started in the loss to the Toffees and seems to be Hoever's direct competition for playing time.

Ruled out Saturday Hoever (knee) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Everton.

Impact Hoever will miss Saturday's match against the Toffees as he continues to recover from a knee injury. While the issue was not considered serious, the club has opted against rushing him back. Further evaluation is expected before clearing him for a return.

AUGUST 30 • ROTOWIRE

Injury deemed minor Hoever (knee) has only suffered a minor injury after going down against Bournemouth, according to manager Vitor Pereira, per Liam Keen of the Express and Star.

Impact Hoever has avoided a major injury after he went down with an apparent knee injury in their last contest, with the manager claiming his issues are "not serious." This could set him up for a return when facing Everton on Saturday. However, the club will likely need to put him through some testing, with that deciding if he can play or not.

AUGUST 28 • ROTOWIRE

Day cut short Hoever was forced off the field in the 39th minute of Saturday's match against Bournemouth due to an apparent knee injury.

Impact Hoever looks to be heading towards the sidelines after starting in Saturday's contest, with the defender needing to exit in the first half with an injury that points to the knee. This is a tough development, as he has started in both games to open the season. He was replaced by Jackson Tchatchoua, a possible replacement alongside Hugo Bueno and Pedro Lima.

AUGUST 23 • ROTOWIRE

Plays 62 minutes Hoever (groin) started and played 62 minutes in a friendly against Burnley.

Impact Hoever saw his first minute with Wolves this preseason after returning from his loan spell with an injury, seeing a solid match against Burnley. He earned 26 starts in 30 appearances with Auxerre last campaign and will hope he can replicate a similar season with Wolves if he remains to begin the season, as he is a young player who holds some promise, although his limits have yet to be truly tested in the Premier League since the 2022/23 campaign.

JULY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to Wolves Hoever is returning to Wolverhampton after a loan spell at Auxerre where he featured in 30 games and contributed one goal and two assists.

Impact Hoever spent one season on loan with Auxerre and had decent outings, contributing to three goals and creating 24 chances in 30 games. The right-back also contributed defensively with 51 tackles, 21 interceptions, and 64 clearances to help AJA remain in the French top flight. He is now heading back to Wolves with his future a bit blurry, as he doesn't know if he will be loaned again heading into the 2025/26 season.

JUNE 25 • ROTOWIRE

Plays huge role Hoever returned to Wolves after finishing an excellent loan spell with Stoke City.

Impact Hoever was brilliant during his second season in the Championship. The defender contributed four goals and five assists and created 35 chances while making 40 appearances (35 starts.) Hoever will now hope to earn a spot in the first team through the 2024/25 pre-season.

JULY 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Four starts in 2021-22 Hoever started four games in eight appearances during the 2021-22 campaign.

Impact Hoever is another young player in the Wolves squad that lost minutes this season. The right-back made eight appearances (four stats), with 10 tackles to his name over that span, after logging five starts in 12 games in 2020-21. He will now battle for more space heading to the 2022-23 campaign.

JUNE 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Playing with U23s Hoever started for the U23s in Monday's match, returning from a hamstring injury.

Impact Hoever has been out since March 5 with a hamstring injury and could be an option as soon as Sunday at Burnley. That being the case, he was called out by Bruno Lage in his last start for not training hard, which will make it hard for him to return to the XI over the final month.

APRIL 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out with hamstring injury Hoever will be out an unknown amount of time after suffering a hamstring injury over the weekend, according to manager Bruno Lage.

Impact Lage had some harsh words for Hoever after last weekend's match, stating the winger didn't train hard enough which is why he was rarely playing and why he suffered an injury. Given those statements, it's hard to see Hoever having much of a role the rest of the way.

Unpicking Bruno Lage's dismantling of Ki-Jana Hoever It came from nowhere, but it was a public, calculated rocket, aimed not just in Hoever's direction, but a message to all the young players

Leaves injured in rare start Hoever was forced off in the 25th minute of Saturday's match against Crystal Palace with an undisclosed injury.

Impact Getting only his fourth start of the season, Hoever couldn't make it to the break Saturday. It's unfortunate for the youngster, who has been a backup all season on the wing and that was with Jonny injured most of that time. With Jonny back, Hoever could move back to the bench depending on the severity of his injury.

MARCH 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Gets rare start Hoever started and went the full 90 in Sunday's loss 1-0 against West Ham, compiling two inaccurate crosses and three tackles (two won).

Impact Hoever got the call with Nelson Semedo hurt and he didn't do much with it in an uneventful match. The wing-back has just three starts this season and probably won't see much more time going forward with Jonny edging closer to fitness now, as well.

FEBRUARY 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Plays with U23s Hoever (COVID-19) started and played in the first half of Monday's match with the U23s.

Impact Hoever looks to be over COVID-19 and ready to compete for minutes with the senior team again. He only has two starts this season, but injuries are always possible and he seems to be the top backup to Nelson Semedo on the right flank.

JANUARY 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out with COVID-19 Hoever has tested positive for COVID-19, Wolves announced Sunday.

Impact Hoever missed Sunday's FA Cup victory against Sheffield United while isolating with the virus, but he will have a week to recover before Wolves' next Premier League game against Southampton on Jan. 15.

JANUARY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

One start so far Hoever has started one of Wolverhampton's opening three matches in the new season.

Impact Hoever drew the start in the opening match of the year but hasn't been seen since. The right back will continue to be a backup for Nelson Semedo throughout the year.

SEPTEMBER 7, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles for playing time Hoever finished the 2020/21 season with five starts from 12 appearances, compiling 21 crosses and 14 tackles as a wing-back and full-back.

Impact Hoever is still just 19 years old, so he has plenty of time to improve and find more playing time. He was rarely used this past season because of the presence of Nelson Semedo on the right side and it's unknown if his role will grow that much in the next campaign.
