Newcastle United star Fabian Schar admits morale is low at the club.

The Magpies are struggling in the Premier League and have not won a game in the past nine.

They have two points from the past 27 and are sliding towards the relegation zone at an alarming rate.

The latest defeat was a 2-1 turnover by Leeds United, their fifth loss in a row.

Schar told NUFC TV: "We are believing and I'm sure we also know the quality we have in the team. Now it's finding confidence again.

"We are making mistakes which normally do not happen because we are not full of confidence - and when results are not good, that's normal.

"But it's a situation where we have to deal with it and just go on to the next one and try even better."
