Sandro Tonali - Forced off at halftime Tonali (muscular) was substituted at halftime of Sunday's clash against West Ham United, with a possible muscle injury behind the early exit.

Impact Tonali's withdrawal at the break is a concerning development for Newcastle, with the Italian midfielder having been one of their most important players in the engine room this season. Joe Willock came on to replace him at the start of the second half, with the full extent of the injury yet to be confirmed. Further examination will be required before a clearer picture emerges on the severity of the issue and his availability for upcoming fixtures

Joelinton - Out against West Ham United Joelinton (thigh) is ruled out for Sunday's clash against West Ham United.

Impact Joelinton has been unable to get the green light following the club's assessment over the coming sessions, confirming the doubt that coach Eddie Howe had flagged over the slight thigh problem ahead of one of the two final fixtures of the season. His absence is a real blow for Newcastle, with the Brazilian having been one of their most important and energetic contributors throughout the campaign. His situation will be monitored closely in the coming days as the club hopes the issue proves minor enough to have him available for the final fixture of the season.

Impact Schar ends what is likely his final season at Newcastle with 15 tackles, 19 interceptions and 86 clearances across 19 appearances in all competitions, keeping four clean sheets before the foot infection derailed his return. The Swiss international will now focus entirely on being fit for the World Cup this summer, where he is expected to be an important figure for Switzerland in what could be one of the final chapters of a distinguished international career.

The club will assess his condition over the coming sessions before making a final call on his involvement Sunday, with Jacob Ramsey expected to start on the left wing in his place if Joelinton cannot be cleared in time for the West Ham clash.

Bruno Guimaraes - Records four shots Guimaraes generated four shots (three on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Nottingham Forest.

Impact Guimaraes has now earned three straight starts since his return from injury, returning to his normal role in the midfield. He would go on to record four shots, three chances created and three crosses, although he couldn't make it two straight games with a goal contribution after an assist last time out.

This ends a goal contribution drought for Ramsey, as his last came Feb. 28. He is up to two goals and two assists in 26 appearances (13 starts) this season.

Fabian Schar - Still doubtful to return Schar (foot) is looking more positive physically but remains a doubt to feature again before the end of the season, according to coach Eddie Howe, per Jordan Cronin of Iconic Media...

Impact Schar had been sidelined after undergoing minor surgery for a foot infection, and while the encouraging signs in his physical condition are a positive development, the limited time remaining in the campaign makes any return far from guaranteed. The Swiss international will be motivated to get back on the pitch with the World Cup this summer firmly in his sights, and Newcastle will hope to have him available at some point before the season concludes. Malick Thiaw, Sven Botman and Dan Burn have been sharing the central defensive duties during his extended absence.

Impact Livramento has had a deeply disrupted campaign managing various injury issues, and the decision to shut him down for the remaining fixtures is the sensible call given the risk of aggravating the thigh problem further. The full-back will now focus on a full recovery with the World Cup also on the horizon this summer, with Kieran Trippier and Lewis Hall continuing to cover at full-back for Newcastle's final fixtures of the season. Livramento ends the season with one assist, 36 crosses, 22 tackles and 39 clearances in 17 Premier League appearances (14 starts).
