Newcastle United's Fabian Schär is set to miss the remainder of the season due to a minor hamstring injury, as confirmed by manager Eddie Howe. The injury leaves the team short at center-half, with Schär unlikely to play in the final four games. In addition to Schär's absence, Newcastle faces fitness concerns with Miguel Almiron, Nick Pope, and Joelinton, who are all undergoing late fitness tests ahead of the upcoming match against Burnley.
