January 16, 2026
Schar (ankle) had a successful surgery Thursday and will likely be sidelined for the next three months, coach Eddie Howe confirmed in the press conference. "He had a successful surgery yesterday which is great news. Everything went according to plan. It's difficult to give a definitive but I think around three months out will be the diagnosis we'll work towards. If it's any quicker then great, but we need to give Fabian time to recover."
ANALYSIS
Schar is expected to return around April, and his absence is a blow for the Magpies as he has been a regular starter this campaign amid several injuries in the backline. Malick Thiaw and Sven Botman are expected to take on greater roles for Newcastle in the coming months.

Avoids broken ankle
DNewcastle United
OUT
January 8, 2026
Schar (ankle) did not break his ankle following his injury in Wednesday's match against Leeds, but is still expected to miss a lengthy period, coach Eddie Howe confirmed in a press conference. "Hopefully not too bad, or maybe not as bad as it initially looked. He's got an injury there but no break, it is ligament damage. He is seeing a specialist in the next coming days to get a definitive answer but maybe more positive than the initial assessment. Losing Fabian is a huge blow."

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could head to Germany
DNewcastle United
OUT
November 15, 2025
Teams in the Bundesliga are showing interest in signing Schar, according to Florian Plettenberg of Sky Sports Germany.
ANALYSIS
Schar has been limited to eight appearances this season due to injuries. He remains capable of playing at the EPL level, but he might be better suited for a backup role behind Malick Thiaw, Dan Burn and Sven Botman. In that scenario, he could be open to a move to Germany, since several Bundesliga clubs want him.
