Fabian Schär injury update
Newcastle defender Fabian Schär was stretchered off on Wednesday night with an ankle injury after going down in pain during the match against Leeds. He received several minutes of treatment on the pitch before being taken to hospital for assessment, and was later seen wearing a protective brace.
At his pre-match media briefing, head coach Eddie Howe offered a more positive early outlook than first feared, suggesting there is no break and the issue appears to be ligament-related. Schär is due to see a specialist for clearer answers, but he will miss the Bournemouth tie.
