GLASGOW (SCOTLAND) (ITALPRESS) – Kasper Schmeichel, the 39-year-old Celtic goalkeeper, suffered a serious shoulder injury, which will require him to undergo two surgeries. According to BBC Sports, the Danish international has torn his biceps, his rotator cuff, dislocated his shoulder, and torn his glenoid labrum. His recovery time could last more than a year, when he will already be 40. Furthermore, his contract with the Scottish club will expire at the end of the season, leaving him a free agent.

“It could have been my last game,” Schmeichel told CBS Sports Golazo, referring to the league loss against Hibernian on February 22, but vowed to “do everything I can to be back. I’ll try everything I can. It would probably be one of the greatest feats of my career.” “Football means everything to me. It’s been my whole life, it’s been my whole identity,” concluded the 2016 English champion with Ranieri’s Leicester.
