【【 Wolverhampton is finally back to normal... Hwang Hee-chan's collapse is imminent! Director O'Neill said, "Fantastic news." 】】


Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton), who left with a hamstring injury, is returning. Wolverhampton coach Gary O'Neill is very pleased.

Wolverhampton will face Nottingham Forest in the 33rd round of the 2023-2024 English Premier League (EPL) at 11 p.m. on the 13th (Korea time) at the City Ground in Nottingham, England.

Ahead of this match, Hwang Hee-chan trained.

"Hwang Hee-chan has joined the squad for this match. It's fantastic news for us," O'Neill told a press conference before the match against Nottingham

Hwang Hee-chan collapsed during the FA Cup Round of 16 match against Brighton on February 29.

He started but limped off with pain in the back of his thigh in the 9th minute of the second half, and was replaced by Neto. Since then, he has only focused on recovering from his injury.

Coach O'Neill also described the situation of having to play in the absence of Hwang Hee-chan as "a disaster."

This season, Hwang Hee-chan is Wolverhampton's ace. In particular, his scoring pace in the first half of the year was quite good before he was selected for the Asian Cup in Qatar, the AFC. However, he has since suffered a recurrence of a hamstring injury.

Eventually, Hwang Hee-chan skipped the March A-match with a hamstring injury. He devoted himself to rehabilitation throughout March.

Wolverhampton manager Gary O'Neill has already said in a press conference before the game against West Ham United (1-2 loss) on the 6th that Hwang Hee-chan has participated in official training and will return within 1-2 games.

O'Neill did not order Hwang Hee-chan to play against West Ham in order not to overwork him. A little more recovered, Hwang Hee-chan waits for the match against Nottingham.
