Eddie Howe has delivered positive news on Swiss international Fabian Schar after he came off injured against Mainz 05. The defender was replaced after 57 minutes just before he was due to be substituted as part of a routine batch of changes.
Schar was replaced by Dan Burn but will be fine for the tour of Portugal next week. After the game Howe said: “I think he’s OK,” Howe told reporters at the Kufstein Arena. “When he came off the pitch he said it felt more like a cramp feeling rather than a pull.
“Fingers crossed he’s alright.”
