Newcastle United rocked by fresh injury setback as Fabian Schar stretchered off

Fabian Schar was stretchered off with a serious ankle injury after colliding with Dominic Calvert-Lewin, forcing Newcastle to field a makeshift defense in their 4-3 win.

  • This month, Newcastle United defender Fabian Schar was stretchered off at St. James' Park with Jacob Ramsey replacing him.
  • After the collision, manager Eddie Howe said Schar was in hospital with an ankle problem and `It doesn't look good for him.`
  • Lewis Miley moved to centre-half, reshaping Newcastle's back line with Sven Botman, Lewis Hall and Tino Livramento as the St. James' Park crowd rose to applaud Schar.
  • The setback increases pressure on Newcastle's defensive depth ahead of the window as Schar's absence compounds issues with Emil Krafth, Dan Burn and Jamaal Lascelles already sidelined, while Eddie Howe said it's too early to assess but the injury could affect January transfer business this month.
  • Schar's absence came amid a frantic finish that included a 102nd-minute winner and Bruno Guimaraes' penalty after extended stoppage.
