'Shocking for Korean Football!' National Team Forward Hwang Hee-chan Given 'De Facto' Release Notice by Wolves, Trains with U-21 Team, Excluded from Blackburn Match

South Korean international Hwang Hee-chan has reportedly received notice that he is effectively being released by Wolverhampton Wanderers, a significant development following the club's relegation from the Premier League. The forward, along with teammate Sasa Kalajdzic, was informed that they could leave the club before the transfer window closes.

This news comes as a shock to South Korean football fans, particularly given Hwang's role as a national team player. Wolverhampton Wanderers were relegated to the Championship after finishing at the bottom of the Premier League table for the 2025-2026 season.

Adding to the indication of his departure, Hwang was completely excluded from the squad for a recent match and has been training with the club's U-21 team. This situation suggests a clear shift in the club's plans for the player as they prepare for life in the second tier of English football.
