  1. Just beat me to it. Sad for him, can’t really count this toward his poor injury record, but we definitely need a revamp of CB position. At least Schar is supposed to be back soon.

  2. And here’s a copy of the article for anyone that can’t open the link for whatever reason

    >Newcastle United defender Sven Botman has undergone successful surgery on a facial fracture.

    >Following concussion protocol, the Dutchman was substituted after suffering the injury during the second half of Sunday’s game against Sunderland at St. James’ Park.

    >Sven is not expected to be sidelined for an extended period and hopes to be available again during the closing weeks of the season.

    >Everybody at the club wishes Sven a swift recovery.

    Kicked in the face (by Brobbey?)

    I thought Botman was doing brilliantly against him until he got taken off tbh

    I assume he’ll be able to come back fairly quickly with the use of face protection / mask (hopefully)

    I hate this. Defender, playing great, gets injured by the player he’s smothering, offender gets no punishment and goes on for the winner.

    The brutality of football.

    Burn punctured lung and Botman fractured face in the derbies…battered us result-wise and physically this season then.

  7. I thought he shit it and went off coz Brobby was chucking him about. Looks like I was wrong. Ouch

    Just a reminder that Taylor had an unobstructed view of this from roughly 5-10 yards and gave nothing for a kick to the face.​
