Newcastle United Defender Fabian Schär Ruled Out After Head Injury vs Barcelona….
Newcastle upon Tyne, 19 September 2025 – Newcastle United defender Fabian Schär will be sidelined for the next few matches following a head injury incurred during Thursday’s Champions League match against Barcelona.
During the game at St James’ Park, Schär blocked a powerful shot from Marcus Rashford, taking the ball full in the face. Initially, he attempted to continue after treatment on the pitch. However, his condition worsened, and he was substituted.
This marks the second significant head injury this season for Schär — earlier, he suffered a knock during a match against Liverpool that required him to be withdrawn under the concussion protocol.
