Newcastle United defender Fabian Schär is set to be out of action for several months after sustaining a knee injury during Saturday's 3-2 win against Southampton.
The Switzerland international sustained a torn knee ligament in the 75th minute of the match and had to be stretchered from the pitch.
He will undergo further assessment with a specialist consultant in the coming days before beginning his rehabilitation with the club's medical team.
Everyone at Newcastle United wishes Fabian a full and speedy recovery.
