David Wagner, the manager of Norwich City, has acknowledged that he is worried about Hwang Ui-Jo’s injury from the Watford game.
Norwich City was two goals ahead of Watford at one point, but ultimately lost 3-2. Hwang’s tie was over in seventeen minutes. He scored his third goal of the season and his second in the last two games during that time.
Regretfully, the Canaries collapsed and lost badly following the Nottingham Forest loanee’s departure. Norwich City is currently ranked 14th in the Championship standings.
After the game, Wagner discussed the injury. He said to the Pink Un:
“It appears to be a hamstring strain. Naturally, a scan will be performed, and the severity will then be determined. You’ve obviously seen that he’s in good form, but we’ll have to wait and see how serious and meaningful it really is. He put in a lot of effort before and after scoring goals for us and South Korea in the last few games.
The player’s and the team’s timing couldn’t be worse given the injury. Hwang had begun to settle into a groove with Norwich City, and had he stayed on, he could have scored another to turn the tide of the Watford match after hammering home a fantastic goal early on.
In order for the Canaries to put together a winning streak of games, they currently need as many goal scorers in their lineup as possible. For this reason, if Hwang is away for an extended amount of time, it will be greatly felt.
It might also be detrimental to David Wagner’s attempt to keep his job. Though time will tell how serious the injury is, a management change is not out of the question, and Hwang’s absence will leave him without one of his best players.
This weekend, Norwich City will play their next matchup, Bristol City. After a fantastic debut for Liam Manning at Ashton Gate, it will be a difficult game for the Canaries.
