Overview
- Schar was stretchered off late in the second half wearing a leg brace after suffering the injury.
- The defender appeared to catch his leg awkwardly under Dominic Calvert-Lewin and immediately signalled for treatment.
- Howe said the situation "doesn’t look good" and confirmed the player was in hospital.
- Newcastle still beat Leeds 4-3, with Harvey Barnes scoring a stoppage-time winner.
- Schar’s setback adds to defensive strain, with Emil Krafth and Dan Burn sidelined, Jamaal Lascelles not fully ready, and a makeshift back line used to finish the match.
