Struggling to recapture the form that saved them from relegation last season, Wolverhampton Wanderers have been hit with yet another injury setback.
Already reeling from Yerson Mosquera’s ACL injury earlier in the season, Wolves find themselves at the bottom of the Premier League table with no wins in their first seven games. Facing tough opponents from last season’s top six, the upcoming match against Manchester City poses an even greater challenge.
Complicating matters further, Wolves lost key players like Max Kilman and Pedro Neto in the summer transfer window, with only Neto being adequately replaced. Now, manager Gary O’Neil must contend with another blow as Hwang Hee-chan is set to miss two to three weeks due to an injury suffered while on international duty with South Korea.
This injury couldn’t have come at a worse time for Wolves, as they prepare to face Manchester City without one of their key players. With Hwang potentially missing crucial matches against Crystal Palace and Southampton, the pressure is mounting on O’Neil to turn the team’s fortunes around.
Recognized for his intelligence and tactical awareness, Hwang’s absence will undoubtedly be felt on the field as Wolves look to navigate through a tough period in the season. The manager’s ability to adapt and find a solution in Hwang’s absence will be crucial for Wolves’ hopes of avoiding relegation once again.
