Newcastle United defender Fabian Schar has been forced to withdraw from international duty due to injury.
The centre-back was due to feature against England at Wembley Stadium this weekend, as well as facing Kosovo a few days later.
It is thought the decision is precautionary, with the 30-year-old struggling with injury in recent weeks.
Schar is still likely to be available for the Magpies’ trip to Tottenham Hotspur following the international break, however it is likely to come too soon for the likes of Callum Wilson and Kieran Trippier.
