Newcastle United are set to be without both Andy Carroll and Fabian Schar at the weekend.
Newcastle are set to take on Wolverhampton Wanderers, but they will do so without two of their more integral players.
Schar is arguaby the best defender at Newcastle, and his absence will be a major blow to Steve Bruce’s side.
The Switzerland international has been rock solid this term, and he brings a composure to Newcastle’s defence that no other options in Bruce’s squad do.
Carroll, meanwhile, has only been fit enough to feature from the bench, but he has proven a weapon when brought on.
And Newcastle fans are fearing the worst after the latest injury update.
Newcastle head into their game on the back of two credible performance against Manchester United and Chelsea.
Bruce’s men beat United and although they lost at Stamford Bridge there was still enough on display to be encouraged by.
Newcastle are under some pressure to pick three points at the weekend though, as they currently sit in the relegation zone and will not want to start getting cut adrift.
