Wolves man given reprieve after physio incident – Manager not taking it further

Hwang won't face sporting consequences after confronting a physiotherapist during Schalke's cup defeat to Dynamo Dresden, but manager Muslic says the incident was discussed with the squad.

Wolves forward Hee-chan Hwang has been given a reprieve by Schalke manager Miron Muslic following an incident with the club's medical staff during a cup match against Dynamo Dresden, which Schalke lost 2-0.

The 30-year-old South Korean, on loan from Wolves, physically confronted a physiotherapist on the sidelines after becoming frustrated at receiving treatment. Muslic confirmed the matter was addressed internally with the entire squad present, emphasizing the club's commitment to discipline. Hwang showed "a great deal of insight" and will face no sporting consequences or exclusion from the squad.

Hwang has struggled since joining Schalke in the summer, making just six appearances totalling 238 minutes and is yet to score. The incident may influence Schalke's thinking on a permanent deal next summer, as the club will be reluctant to commit to a player who has neither performed on the pitch nor maintained discipline off it.
