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.

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.

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.

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.

Impact Schar was forced off early against Aston Villa on Saturday but seems no worse for the wear. With the defender fit, he should reclaim his place in the starting XI considering he has featured in all but one of the club's 13 matches this season. Despite being a fixture in the starting XI, Schar won't offer more than mid-range fantasy value except in formats that value defensive stats.

NOVEMBER 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Comes off injured against Villa Schar was subbed out of Saturday's victory against Aston Villa in the 83rd minute after suffering a hamstring injury, manager Eddie Howe announced after the game.

Cracks four shots in draw Schar played four shots (one on target), made three clearances, one tackle and a cross as Newcastle shared the honors with Bournemouth in a 1-1 result on Saturday.

Impact Schar created a series of attacking moves for his team and demonstrated, through his contribution to both defensive plays and shots on goal, that he is a versatile center back. He is a player that should be providing more assists but he has been let down by the poor goal scoring execution of his receiving attackers. From six appearances (all starts) he has scored once and contributed to three clean sheets.
