Celtic goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel may have played his last professional game due to a serious shoulder injury. The 39-year-old Danish international requires surgery to repair the damage, according to Sky Sports. Schmeichel sustained the injury during a recent fixture and now faces a significant period of rehabilitation.
The veteran goalkeeper expressed a desire to fight for his fitness despite the severity of the medical prognosis. He noted that while the situation remains difficult, he intends to exhaust all recovery options before considering retirement. Celtic medical staff are currently organising the procedure, per STV News.
Schmeichel joined the Scottish Premiership side on a one-year contract in July 2024. He has been a regular starter for the Glasgow club throughout the current campaign. The club has not yet confirmed a specific timeline for his return to the first-team squad. Viljami Sinisalo is expected to deputise in Schmeichel's absence while the club assesses its options for the remainder of the season.
