Impact It's a promising injury update for Schar after experiencing hamstring tightness during Wednesday's friendly with Chelsea. He is set to remain the starting center back for the upcoming campaign after starting in all 36 matches played in 2022/23. With a few weeks left until the start of the Premier League, it is likely that the defender will recover in time to feature in the starting XI against Aston Villa, alongside Sven Botman.

Impact Schar made an excellent partnership with Sven Botman, with both being huge factors for the Magpies to allow multiple goals just seven times this season. The center-back also had great individual numbers, which included being among the EPL top 10 in both clearances and interceptions. It's still uncertain who will be brought for next season and there will be defensive reinforcements but it looks like Schar will be once again in a leading role for this squad.

Impact Schar managed to have better numbers than the ones he did on the previous outing but then he was very unfortunate when try to cut a pass from the left flank, as the ball went off his leg into his own net for what was Arsenal's second goal in the 71st minute. With numbers way below his average over the last three starts, the center-back will try to bounce back as his side tries to guarantee a Champions League spot for next season.

Named to starting XI Schar (hamstring) will play in Thursday's matchup with Everton.

Impact Schar was forced off in the 74th minute versus Tottenham on Sunday due to his hamstring problem. It was the first time in seven consecutive starts that Schar didn't go the full 90, so fantasy players should be able to count on him closing out the match, barring any lingering injury concerns.

Late test Thursday Schar (hamstring) is considered a late call for Thursday's trip to Everton, according to manager Eddie Howe.

Impact This isn't too surprising, as Schar only made it 74 minutes in Sunday's win against Tottenham. On a short week, there's no reason to push Schar into the XI again, especially with a muscle issue. Jamaal Lascelles has performed well when given the chance this season and seems likely to get another call against Everton.

In doubt against Toffees Schar (hamstring) will be re-evaluated prior to Thursday's clash with Everton. Schar told reporters, "An assessment [Monday]. I don't think it's bad, just a hamstring I felt but we...

Impact Schar had gone the full 90 minutes in 14 straight appearances before being forced off versus Spurs on Sunday due to his hamstring issue. The central defender didn't seem too worried but with the quick turnaround ahead of Thursday's match, it may force Schar to sit out just the second time since the World Cup. If Schar can't play versus Everton, Jamaal Lascelles could be in line to feature in the starting XI.

In lineup against Forest Schar (foot) is in the lineup for Friday's match against Nottingham Forest.

Impact There was plenty of doubt surrounding Schar's availability Friday with his foot injury, however it looks to be that he is healthy and starting against Forest. Since the winter break, he has totaled 37 clearances, 17 interceptions and 13 tackles (five won).

Impact Schar has started nine of Newcastle's last 10 Premier League games since the World Cup, missing out only against Manchester City at the beginning of March due to a head injury, but he is withdrawing from the Swiss National Team's upcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers in March while he deals with foot pain. It is unclear whether this will affect his availability for Friday's Premier League match against Nottingham Forest, though he was pictured in training with his teammates on Friday. Jamaal Lascelles could be the backup option in central defense if necessary.

Starting against Wolvees Schar is fit and in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Wolverhampton.

Impact Schar returns from a concussion in time to start for Newcastle on Sunday. The center back takes up a role in his side's back four having helped Newcastle keep ten clean sheets in his 23 appearances.

Expected to play Sunday Schar (concussion) has been training and is expected to be an option Sunday against Wolves, according to manager Eddie Howe.

Impact It sounds like Schar went through concussion protocol and had to miss last week's Man City match, but he's back and ready to start again. While Jamaal Lascelles was solid last week, Schar is still the top center-back on the team, starting 22 of a possible 24 league matches.

Impact Schar suffered the injury in the last game and, while he was able to complete it, he struggled with the alter-effects afterward and won't be an option for this one. Jamaal Lascelles is replacing him in the back.

Impact Schar was dominant as usual on defense, even matching his season high in clearances, while also being a threat on the offensive end as his side usually has open-play and set-pieces crosses as one of their biggest weapons. The center-back is currently among the top 10 EPL players in both clearances and interceptions, being one of the safest fantasy picks at his position.
