Newcastle United dealt fresh injury scare as Anthony Gordon put...

Despite having a nightmare in the second city against Unai Emery’s team, Newcastle United defender Fabian Schar

was substituted off due to injury at Villa Park Wednesday night.

After beating Nick Pope with a deflection after 33 seconds, the former Swiss international had three memorable

moments. He was lucky to be booked in a confrontation with Ollie Watkins, and his evening concluded with a

terrible clearing that gave Villa another goal. However, Jason Tindall, the assistant manager, has implied that the

former Hoffenheim player was shielded when he left the game for the last eight minutes.

Newcastle United defender Fabian Schar was replaced due to injury at Villa Park on Wednesday night, despite

having a nightmare against Unai Emery’s team in the second city.

The former Swiss international had three unforgettable moments after defeating Nick Pope with a deflection after 33

seconds. His evening ended with a horrible clearing that gave Villa another goal, and he was fortunate to be booked

after a dispute with Ollie Watkins. Nonetheless, assistant manager Jason Tindall has hinted that the former

Hoffenheim player was protected when he exited the game during the final eight minutes.

Tindall acknowledged that exhaustion had contributed to one of Newcastle’s poorest defensive performances of the

season. The night was a game too far for the injured Magpies, according to Tindall.

For the first two games of his tenure as manager, Tindall’s task is to copy and paste his team. However, against

Ipswich the next Saturday, that might alter.

Following a run of assists and goals, including his incredible goal against Crystal Palace, Jacob Murphy experienced

a concerning decline in form at Villa Park, managing just one correct cross. He was replaced by Anthony Gordon,

who also had trouble, but Tindall may want to change one of the forward spots for their match against Ipswich next

week.

Up until the trip to Villa Park, Newcastle had won all of their Premier League games in April, with Tindall leading the

squad to victories against Man United and Palace and Eddie Howe defeating Brentford and Leicester City. However,

the pair’s perfect record was tarnished by the defeat to Villa.

The pair could still have a good chance of winning manager of the month if they defeat Ipswich the next Saturday,

but their flawless April record is gone.

The attackers at Villa Park lost their chances after scoring nine goals in two games under Tindall. Bruno Guimaraes

slid Alexander Isak in after he tapped tamely at the keeper, but Isak had to wait until the second half for an opening.

However, with fifteen minutes remaining, his number appeared, and Callum Wilson took his place. The former

Coventry player did not manage a shot throughout that time and was only given six touches.

With 62 goals, Newcastle is the third-highest scoring team in the Premier League. With the match against Ipswich on

Saturday providing a significant opportunity to make amends, this seemed like a bad day.
