Hwang Hee-chan started as a left-wing striker in the third round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2023-2024 season against Everton at Goodison Park in Liverpool on the 26th, but was replaced by Rajan Eitnuri at the start of the second half.
Hwang Hee-chan, who was substituted in the 10th minute of the second half and scored his first goal of the season with a header, started the day and aimed for consecutive goals, but returned to the bench after only playing in the first half. Wolverhampton won 1-0 thanks to Sasha Kalajic’s winning goal in the 42nd minute of the second half and reported its first win after two consecutive losses in the opening. Wolverhampton coach Gary O’Neill explained the reason for the replacement, saying, “Hwang Hee-chan complained of hamstring pain (muscle behind the thigh),” and added, “We will have a thorough examination as soon as possible.”
Hwang Hee-chan’s injury is also unfortunate news for the Korean national soccer team’s Klinsmann team, which is set to play two consecutive A matches in September. With Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain) already injured his left thigh quadriceps and announced that he would not be able to participate in the A match in September, Hwang Hee-chan, a key resource for side attacks, has been injured. Although the degree of injury has not been confirmed, it is unclear whether he will be able to recover his normal condition by the match against Wales (September 8, Korean time), the first game of the A match in September. If Hwang Hee-chan is excluded after Lee Kang-in, it is inevitable that Klinsmann, who has not won four games (two draws and two losses) since his appointment, will be hit.
Klinsmann’s captain and Tottenham Hotspur’s “captain” Son Heung-min started as a left-side striker in an away game against AFC Bournemouth on the same day and played until the end of the game. Son Heung-min, who was widely forward regardless of side and center, failed to write an attack point, but faithfully played the role of the starting point of the attack. In particular, in the 18th minute of the second half, a 1-0 lead helped Destiny Udogi penetrate through a sensational 2-1 pass inside the penalty box. Dejan Kulusevsky scored the ball that Woo Do-ki, who beat the defender, connected with a left-footed cutback. Tottenham, which won 2-0 with Son Heung-min’s performance, has been undefeated in three games (2 wins and 1 draw) since the opening.
