Hwang Hee-chan seems to need more time to recover to the level where he can play.
Wolverhampton will play the 27th round of the English Premier League (EPL) in 2024-2025 at 4:30 a.m. on the 25th (Korea time) at Molineux Stadium in Wolverhampton, England. 17th-placed Wolverhampton must continue to build points to widen the gap with the relegation zone.
Fans were curious about the possibility of Hwang Hee-chan's return ahead of this game, but unfortunately, Hwang Hee-chan is not yet able to play. Hwang Hee-chan collapsed due to injury in the FA Cup match against Blackburn Rovers on the 9th.
Hwang Hee-chan started for the first time in a long time, so his performance was really good. Hwang Hee-chan, who was deployed as a striker, was involved in both of the team's goals in the first half. He also recorded the help. In the 33rd minute of the first half, Wolverhampton succeeded in pressing and Gonzalo Guedes caught the ball. Guedes handed over the pass to Hwang Hee-chan, who conceded a chance to Joao Gomes, who was penetrating from the left. As Gomes finished, Hwang Hee-chan's first help of the season was recorded.
Wolverhampton's additional goal, which came soon after, also began with Hwang Hee-chan's movement. The ball was connected to Hwang Hee-chan's sharp penetration, and the attack continued, leading to Matheus Cunha's score. Hwang Hee-chan was in good condition, but he complained of a hamstring injury at the end of the first half. In the end, Hwang Hee-chan was replaced and finished the game.
After the game, Wolverhampton coach Victor Pereira said "Let's see what happens. I hope it's not a serious matter. In the case of Hwang Hee-chan, he was injured in his hamstring, but when we talked, he said there was no problem. I will watch, and I shall wait for about two days."
Fans were concerned because Hwang Hee-chan had frequent hamstring injuries so far. As feared, a quick recovery was difficult. "Hwang Hee-chan cannot play in this match," Pereira said at a press conference ahead of the match against Fulham.
The exact date for Hwang Hee-chan's return has yet to be announced, but it is expected that he will be able to return to the stadium in early March. For Hwang Hee-chan, it's the 2024-2025 season that I really want to forget. It is likely to be remembered as the slowest season since entering Wolverhampton.
Hwang Hee-chan, who showed his peak performance with 13 goals and 3 assists last season, is more regrettable. This season's record is only two goals and one assist. After returning from injury, Hwang Hee-chan should soothe the public by performing well.
Currently, some Wolverhampton fans have such a negative opinion about Hwang Hee-chan that they have asked him to sell it. In order to eliminate this gaze, the player must eventually show it on the field.
