Alious**”Pereira Drops Major Injury Update on Wolves Stars Ahead of Liverpool Clash”**
As Wolves gear up for a crucial showdown against Liverpool, manager Vitor Pereira has provided key injury updates on Hwang Hee-chan and Jorgen Strand Larsen.
### **Setback for Hwang Hee-chan**
Wolves’ 2-0 FA Cup victory over Blackburn Rovers was filled with positives, including Marshall Munetsi’s debut and a solid team performance. However, the win was overshadowed by an unfortunate injury to Hwang Hee-chan, who limped off in the first half with a hamstring issue. The South Korean forward had been instrumental in the build-up to both goals, assisting Joao Gomes before helping set up Matheus Cunha’s strike.
While hamstring injuries often raise alarms, Pereira reassured fans that Hwang’s issue is not severe. Speaking in his pre-match press conference, the Wolves boss confirmed that the 29-year-old will be sidelined for only two to three matches.
**“He’s got an injury and he’ll be out for the next games, maybe two or three,”** Pereira told the *Express & Star*. **“It’s not serious, but it’s something.”**
### **Strand Larsen Nears Return**
There was more encouraging news regarding Jorgen Strand Larsen, who has been out since Wolves’ defeat to Arsenal. The Norwegian striker is set to return to full training and could make the squad for next week’s FA Cup tie against Bournemouth.
**“Jorgen will do his first training session tomorrow (Saturday) with the team,”** Pereira revealed. **“We cannot take risks with him against Liverpool, but I believe in the next game he will be on the list.”**
### **What Games Will Hwang Miss?**
With a short-term recovery timeline, Hwang is expected to miss Wolves’ upcoming matches against Liverpool and Bournemouth, with his availability for the home fixture against Fulham on February 25 still uncertain.
Although he has only netted twice in 17 league appearances this season, Hwang’s pace and attacking instincts remain crucial for Wolves. Fans will be hoping that upon his return, he can rediscover his lethal form and provide a much-needed boost to Pereira’s side.
