Impact Schar looks to be another name to add to the Magpie's ever-growing injury report, walking off the pitch with his arm in a sling just one week after Callum Wilson exited the field in the same manner. The club will hope not to lose the center back for an extended period, as he has been a regular starter all season, having not missed a single start, and the defense is the only place that the club has all of their normal starters healthy.
