Schar and Joelinton Leave the Field with Hamstring Injuries

Newcastle United faced more bad news on Saturday as two key players, Fabian Schar and Joelinton, were forced off the field due to hamstring injuries. Schar was the first to be substituted in the 14th minute, followed by Joelinton in the 36th minute. The injuries have left fans devastated and questioning the team's luck.

Emil Krafth and Lewis Miley Step In

Replacing Schar in defense was Emil Krafth, who has had limited playing time in the Premier League this season. Meanwhile, 17-year-old Lewis Miley took the place of Joelinton shortly before half time. The substitutions highlight the team's struggle to cope with the growing list of injured players.

Another commented, "Surely not Joelinton as well. Surely f***ing not." The injuries have left fans questioning the cause of the recurring setbacks.

Previous Injury Setbacks and Absentees

Joe Willock and Harvey Barnes are also set to be unavailable until the new year due to Achilles and foot injuries respectively. Jacob Murphy, Matt Targett, Elliot Anderson, and Nick Pope are among the other absentees. Additionally, Sandro Tonali has been banned from football until August due to betting breaches.
