“Still hard to find words," tweeted Schar. “Since I came to Newcastle my dream was to win a trophy for this club. To give all the people around the club what they deserve.

"Yesterday was not that day but sometimes that’s football. I want to say thank you for the incredible support, it means so much to me and I am truly thankful to be part of this amazing club.

"Now is time to get up and fight for things we want to achieve this seasons. I will leave my heart on the pitch like I always do and I will do everything I can for black and white. I am sure one day we are gonna lift a trophy together.”
