Howe: Discussions next week over Schar future
Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe on Fabian Schar's fitness and future:
"There's not much chance he'll make the last two games which is a real shame because he was so close to coming back earlier on.
"Then he suffered the infection he did, and he's back running again and looking fit and healthy but there's a big difference between that and actually playing.
"I don't think he'll be there, which is a real shame.
"Fabian's still got a lot to offer on the pitch, his qualities are still there. He's had a difficult season, picking up a serious injury but he's contributed so much - we'll have discussions with his representatives in the next week."
Howe: No plans to sign a striker as it stands
Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe on whether he will look to sign a striker this summer:
"Certainly not at the moment, we have healthy numbers in that position.
"It's been a challenge for us, trying to find the right balance and a way to continually score goals and create the amount of chances we want to.
"We've still got work to do in that area, but Yoane Wissa has had fitness issues, Will Osula has really grown and blossomed as he's gone into the season, Anthony Gordon has played there, Nick Woltemade has played there and did well in the early season.
"The players are there, we just have to bring it altogether and make it work."

My love for Everton is something you all know about and I've got a huge love for Ireland as well.
The club have been unbelievable with me. They've offered me an opportunity to stay on at the club. The manager and staff have been great, and I think with it being such an important decision over my future, I'm going to take a nice, long holiday and look back on what has been an amazing time as an Everton footballer.
