Hwang Ui-Jo, a player for Norwich City, will be evaluated by the team’s medical staff after experiencing a hamstring injury during a game at Vicarage Road. The 31-year-old Korean player, who has been dealing with sexual misconduct allegations in his personal life, scored a remarkable long-distance goal before being substituted due to the injury. Despite the injury, Hwang has been in good form and has scored three goals for Norwich City in five appearances. The Korean Football Association has announced that Hwang will not be considered for national team selection until the investigations into the allegations are concluded.
Norwich City manager, Wagner, confirmed that it appeared to be a hamstring injury and that a scan will be needed to determine the severity of the injury. He expressed concern about the potential impact on the team, as Hwang has been a key player and has recently settled in well. However, Wagner also noted that the team has experienced a lot of injuries recently and they will have to wait and see the extent of Hwang’s injury. The team is set to be without Hwang for their upcoming match against Bristol City on Sunday.
The injury to Hwang had an immediate impact on the team’s performance, with Norwich City conceding a goal soon after his substitution. Wagner acknowledged that losing a player who had scored a great goal in the previous game had affected the team’s morale and performance. The loss of Hwang’s contribution to the team after his injury was evident, and Norwich City struggled to maintain their performance level in the game following his substitution.
Overall, Hwang Ui-Jo’s future with Norwich City and the Korean national team is uncertain due to both the injury and the ongoing investigations into the sexual misconduct allegations. The team is awaiting the results of a scan to determine the extent of the injury, while the Korean FA has made a decision to not consider Hwang for national team selection until the investigations are concluded.
