The former Salzburg player got carried away, pushing his own team doctor (More info >>>). However, the issue was quickly clarified and addressed by head coach Miron Muslic in the dressing room.
Against RB Leipzig, the South Korean was then allowed to play again and was in the starting lineup for the 0-2 defeat.
The striker says
After the final whistle, Hwang commented on the incident again to the "WAZ": "He came to me very aggressively, he was too close to me. That's the only reason I pushed him away – because he came too close to me. I wasn't aggressive, I didn't really shove or hit him. It was similar with the physio."
For the 30-year-old, the matter is now "resolved". "The coach addressed the situation in front of all players and the support staff."
Hwang has been active for the "Royal Blues" since summer, joining on loan from Premier League relegated Wolverhampton.
