"Speaking in his pre-match press conference ahead of Sunday's Premier League game with bottom club Wolves, Howe confirmed Schar is facing three months out after undergoing surgery on an ankle injury he suffered in Newcastle's thrilling 4-3 win over Leeds United. Full-back Livramento, meanwhile, faces eight weeks out with a hamstring injury he sustained in the FA Cup clash with Bournemouth last Saturday, which Newcastle won on penalties following a 3-3 draw after extra time."

Summer activity, January activity, value for money. The right players being available, so we'll take all that into account and try and make the right decision. Of course we've got hopefully Dan coming back, which will be a big boost for us in the not too distant future."
