Fabian Schar's future has been the subject of several questions sent in via our 'Ask about Newcastle' form.
Newcastle United hope the defender will return to action before the end of the season as he steps up his recovery from injury.
Schar has not played since January after suffering an ankle injury in the 4-3 win over Leeds United and a subsequent foot infection, which required minor surgery.
It remains to be seen if he could make the squad for the visit of West Ham next week and/or the trip to Fulham on the final day.
Schar is out of contract in the summer, but head coach Eddie Howe insisted last week that a decision has not yet been made regarding his future.
It is clearly a big call.
Only Dan Burn and Bruno Guimaraes have played more games for Newcastle than Schar since Howe took charge in 2021, and his absence has been felt in recent months.
