Schär posted a photo of himself in his hospital bed on Instagram and gave the all-clear. "The prognosis is better than initially feared," wrote the 86-time international, who retired from the Swiss national team after Euro 2024 and has played over 250 games for the current sixth-placed team in the English Premier League since 2018.
It remains to be seen when Schär will return to the pitch. "It's difficult to give a definitive prognosis, but we expect him to be out for around three months," said his coach Eddie Howe at a club media conference on Friday. Schär's contract with the Magpies expires at the end of the season.
